HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH PAIN?
How do you deal with pain?
When it consumes you like the heat of a summers’ day
When all your life you’ve hidden it away
Then someone comes along and says it doesn’t have to be that way
Says be yourself you are a flower
You let go, then in a blink of an eye your world turns sour
How do you deal with pain?
When you lye in a sea of disparity
Overtaken with thoughts of uncertainty
How do you deal with pain?
When all the acts and words you thought to be true
Turn out to be lies simply fed to you
How do you deal with pain?
When it comes to pass
That preceding days
Were filled with misguided notions
Showered with false emotions
How do you deal with pain?
When all you thought was real in your life
Ends up in strife
How do you deal with pain?
If what you feel devours you spirit
If everyday you constantly feel it
How do you deal with pain?
When expectations of the one you love
Seemed not so far out of reach
When foreseen acts of the one you love
Appeared as though they would not end up breach
How do you deal with pain?
Like spoiling a child when you spare the rod
The trust and respect once had
Turns out to be a façade
How do you deal with pain?
How do you deal with pain
When you are dismembered of your crown
And your world gets turned up-side down
When on a pedestal, you once stood
And now you find yourself hiding under a hood
How do you deal with pain
How do you deal with pain?
