Hello pain my old friend
Take time to heal they said
But even with time
You never left

The pills they supplied
Gave relief for a while
Until you returned
You couldn’t say goodbye

We embrace each day
To the mirror I say
I’ll get through it I’m strong
Always hoping I’m not wrong

Pain you make me sit and weep
Sometimes I can’t stay on my feet
The tears fall free
Won’t you please let me be

One day I will be free of pain
My friend you won’t come back again
I pray that day I soon will see
That you will have the heart to leave

I want to give you the world in box
Tied with a beautiful bow
To give you everything you could ever want
Because I love you I hope you know
Every star twinkling in the night
Would be yours in the blink of an eye
The diamonds from every mine in the world
Would be worthless if you weren’t mine
With you at my side I am happy
I walk around lighter than air
But the day that you’re gone
Is the day that I die inside
Swallowed by endless despair

I wish I could show my emotions
Not just write them on a page
That I act like such a coward
Fills me with a useless rage
Instead of just unloading
I choose to bottle up
All the things I should be saying
But my mouth I just keep shut

We are all different
None the same
So who are we
To judge insane
To see the world
Through different eyes
The things you’d see
Such sweet surprise
Describe a colour
With my senses
Feel freedom from
Enclosing fences
Built by peers
Sane and normal
Doctors probing
Pills and potions

Rank bestows entitlement
So those with power think
To push around the lesser ones
Their right it is believed
But if we all just stand up to them
Don’t cower when they speak
Show them that we matter too
Power to the meek

I’m angry
But why
The world
It’s hurting
We cannot
Stop it
Unless
We work
As one
To end
The suffering

How deep does the pain go
Let’s cut down and see
Watch how much the the blood flows
Like life out of me

How long will the tears flow
Will they ever run dry
I am so surprised
That I can still cry

How far does my love get
Does it reach to your heart
Mine breaks every moment
That we spend apart

What age will my life end
I hope long from now
To watch my kids grow up
And make me so proud
