bad times

theirs a heaviness in my heart

an ache in my head

a weight on my shoulders

I can't go to bed

 

my mind to full thoughts

thoughts that bring tears to my eyes

regrets and sorrows

of this small period of time

 

how can so many bad things

happen in such a little time?

 

I wish they understood

I wish they knew

 

the pain I feel

listening to them talk

 

talk about me

and all I've done wrong

 

They can't leave me alone

they can't just give me my light

they have to find reasons

on why it isn't right

 

They have to remind

they have to bring it back

can't they see I am trying

can't they see what I am looking at

 

then of course the other things

bringing me down

with friends

and family

and people all around

 

No one knows

the stress I'm going through

no one can give me a break

 

writing and music

are all I got

to release myself

from this pain
