Life Struggles
Moving pictures of my past flowing in my head every second
For years and years they’ve played
Blank and hallow in the knees ready to collapse
Empty with holes each dug deep each bearing a grudge and twisted
People cannot see right through me as if I was like a dirty old rag sponge Feelings crying of my past stretched so thin Under the sky full of dust filled with broken trust and treachery
The lessons you thought me I learned were never true
They point their finger at me again I point the finger at them Are you a friend or are you a foe
But in the end it all doesn’t matter
Life is a struggle and we live it You live what you’ve learned
I try so hard put aside all of me trying to stand beside my reflection
I see two green up right rectangles my life'’s at pause even when I open my eyes
All falls all can not overcome it everything things blank as paper
There’s a place so dark you cannot see the end
Screaming showing its self consuming confusing controlling
I seem to struggle in search for myself Through the knacks and turns of the twisted thoughts I withhold What do I do to ignore them behind me Do I follow my instincts blindly
Feelings mixed flowing into my head like a hurricane
The rest of the day stands still I try to pretend the past isn’t real
I don’t know how the pressure was fed Eating away inside of me like feeding maggots hungry for more
I know how it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head
My worlds crumbling down on top of me I’ve felt this way before
But in the end it all doesn’t matter
Life is a struggle and we live it You live what you’ve learned
Day to day struggle it seems nothing is certain There’s a place so dark you can’t even see the end
Men and women with their own story to tell Everybody has a face inside of them waiting to come out
A face they hold inside watching and controlling
Faces fighting their lives to wake up every morning
Faces fighting faces in differences
Faces waiting to die
People will risk it all in life just to survive
Fighting each other just to live
Pushing in a crowd of hundreds fighting to breathe
Like a pack of hungry lions in aden
They will live and they will learn
There will be mistakes but none are worst then chances they don’t take
But in the end it all doesn’t matter
You Live You Laugh You Love You Learn
Life is a struggle
