So often it seems that life passes by,
In my heart, I feel as I died a while back,
Can't seem to see past the blackness,
Promise me this world won't leave me behind,
But most of the time, I just want to feel good,
And feel the love that we can share,
Too often it seems my mind is going weary,
Inside, this child is feeling secluded,
Stranger among his peers and an unknown to his family,
But I feel no remorse as I hang on each day,
Hoping that tomorrow will be better than today,
Please forgive if I ever took a wrong step in life,
Sometimes it is hard to be heard on this planet,
I must speak out through my words,
What I am afraid to speak through my lips,
As if this poison from my lips will slip away,
I often sit there and wonder why I don't cry,
Then it hits me like a ton of bricks,
The lord up there is testing me for the future,
That's one way he can make me his messenger,
Take away the pain of others, as he tries me each day,
So that one day I can all wipe others tears away.
