Sometimes through the tears that flow
You see life more clearly,
When the pain inside you grows
When life seems drab and dreary
When you see a life being thrown away
On empty dreams of glory
You think on why the world is trying
To ruin someone’s life… end someone’s story

The things you say, the way you feel
The hopeless dreams and goals
The shattered heart, the broken will
The slowly dying soul

If you could only see the pain
of blindly walking through
the gates of those who wish to kill
to hurt for mere pleasure and fun.

I wish that you could see what I
A simple observer can
The pain from which you can not hide
Life hanging by a strand

Hollow shells and lifeless hopes
Covered in silver and gold
Are not worth the life you give
Not worth the “perfection” mold

Life is slipping from your grasp
Like water sinks into the earth
Never to be recalled again
Except by the suns rebirth…

Walked there and back again
Fallen and gotten up
Given all, nothing gained
but a twisted view on what I was
a perspective that’s insane.

My wish for you is that you truly see
What you have lost and gained
You’ve lost your peace of mind
And gotten only pain
