Rise Above

Life has become has become so complicated
And has made me so unsure.
Of what exactly I don't know.
It's a fear that has no cure.
I used to rely on my dreams
To give me peace of mind.
But now I dread the hour when I must rest,
For I'm afraid of what I'll find.
From the moment I awake
Drama is at my door.
My tears begin to fall so swiftly.
I don't think I can bear much more.
But every time life gets too hard
And there's nothing more I can do,
I remind myself that my friends are hurting more
And need me to pull them through.
So I try to hide my pain
And set aside my fears.
Instead I become a shoulder to lean on
And the one to wipe away the tears.
Life will throw us many curves
And put many bumps in the road,
But through it all we must be strong.
For what comes next we'll never know.
As long as we provide the tears
And hold on to this pain,
We allow the storm to continue.
Shutting out the sun and welcoming the rain.
So as life carries on
And if this drama never ends,
I know the storm can't last forever.
The sun will shine again.
