Lessons in life.

Everybody knows the feeling
when you have to prove yourself
one on one or in front of a big crowd
showing you're worthy
why they should pick you
instead of all those others

you get nervous
insecure
but should they pick me?
am i worthy?
suddenly your self confidence
can't be found nowhere
seems you have lost it damnit
right now you need it the most

it happens in tons of situations
whether you're applying for a job
or meeting up some new people

you can't make a first impression twice
In those first coupla minutes
you better show them
what ya got

Sometimes
everything goes well
They are enthiousiastic about you
They want you
They have exactly the same interests
as you do
and you're happy

Nothing's wrong

Other times
everything goes a little bad
They don't want you
Just invited you
To pretend they give everyone
a fair chance
Or they think you're strange
and don't fit into their group

Then life sucks
for a moment
and you're sure
all the people you absolutely didn't want to
get the job, get the friends
who you think are less capable
get the job, get the friends

then you have to move on
which is easier said than done

But those things happen for a reason
Life wants you to learn a lesson out of it
So find that lesson
Learn it
And you'll get back

Something way more valuable
than you were ever gonna find

when you did get the job
when you did get the friends.
