Why does it hurt so bad,
Why do I feel so sad?
All my hopes and dreams crash
Like in a fire burning fast
Each day I grab the rope,
With little left I have of hope.
I keep trying, pushing and prayin
In a daze feels like mayhem
Want to stop the chaos, can’t make it
Madness all around can’t take it
Looking, searching for the light
Look to my left then to the right
Which way do I turn, when will I learn
Pursue thy self and life you yearn.
Like the potter’s clay reformed,
Can I too, be reborn?
Broken pieces scattered all around
Love, peace and hope to be found?
Heart longs to feel comfort and console
Yet nothing soothes my empty soul.
Why does it hurt so bad,
Why do I feel so sad?
