knives ****** into my back
tiny piercing needles thru my chest
rather it's physical or from the heart
it's still painful times

encouragement not seen
or anywhere within my sight
discouraged, heartbroken
it's still painful times

we try to let the past stay behind
yet it has a way to sneak upon us
then follows unworthiness
it's all in painful times

we just have to keep going
to become stronger at all
I learned this
through all the painful times
