LIFE AND PAIN
Silently speaking answering questions for myself;
relying on no one, put the answers on a shelf.
Seeing happiness all around but can't find it for my own;
In my life lies and disbelief is all I've known.
Living for the future though at the same time I'm stuck in the past;
Still trying to make each day better than the last.
It always seems that things get worse with time;
Backs constantly turning at the drop of a dime.
No one's ever there in the time of need;
It's like suffering from a heart with eternal bleed.
Going to sleep at night with the hopes of not seeing tomorrow;
Sick and tired of waking up with the same constant sorrow.
Dreaming of a life far away from here;
But in my heart I know my mistakes will always be near.
Can't run away from myself so I've learned to live with the pain;
Because no matter how much you hate the storm you can't stop the rain.
So I'll live my life and I'll make it through;
I won't let it get me down just because the picture is nothing like the painting I drew.
