The pain deep within
I hide so well
I’ve cried so many tears
I could fill endless wishing Wells
But my wishes never seem to come true
All the quarters nickles dimes and pennies I’ve thrown
I use to hope and wish more than I prayed
But despite it all I still hid the pain
They said pressure bust pipes
But the pain fueled my inner rage
And once again my emotions have changed
Now I’m like a vicious pitbull
Who ain’t ate in days
Besides nobody seems to see my pain
So they must feel my rage
But something happened when I prayed
I found enter peace
That pain I once felt
Finally drifted away
The rage wasn’t enough to over shadow the love from deep within me
Past experiences help mold me
Life tragedies were only lessons and test for me
I’ve been hurt by people who often told me they loved me
But how could this be the word love isn’t defined by hurt and pain
But it would hurt me more to stay in this situation
It’s not going to be easy to walk away
I know it sounds crazy but I’ve gotten use to the pain
Can I live without it
Am I really ready for change
I admit it did hurt walking away
But trouble and pain don’t last always
So I’m going to strive and walk with my head held high
Continue to hide the tears and the pain
Stay focused and pray
And keep reminding myself that it wouldn’t be joy if it wasn’t for pain
It wouldn’t be no joy if it wasn’t for pain
