Mourning Pain
Many say we learn from our mistakes
But mine are more than I can take.
They spoke a joke that threatened my fragile heart.
When threatened I retaliate.
When I retaliate, they call me a racist..
How great is this feeling called hate...
I can't seem to make people enjoy my presence
Because I am never present, always absent lost in my mind.
How can I find true joy when I lack the confidence?
The confidence to show true defiance and a face so radiant.
All the questions I have are answered painfuly so I never ask.
All the pain within me is held prisoner by my strong heart,..
The smile on my face is just a good mask I wear hiding the devil inside.
The miles I run are cycles with no end, circles have no end.
Imagine reliving this pain, over and over again.
Afraid to tell any for none ever will understand.
Pain is master
