All I want is to forget the tears I cry each night.
To go back to when I was young and all was right.
All I want is the innocent youth I once was.
To forget all the terrible sadness of life’s flaws.
To look past all the sorrows I’ve seen in my days.
To know that there are still some that know the right way
Of life, that is supposed to be with all of us.
Yet every day someone is led into deception and mistrust.
Is it so wrong to miss the simple joy I once knew.
To want and need to start my life all over anew.
To be able to see all the beauty in what is around me.
Being locked in sorrow’s chains, the need to be free.
To just once again hear the laughter of someone real.
To be able to see truth in what someone says they feel.
Yet it saddens me to see no one else sees the wrong on our earth.
All the alcohol, drugs, murders, and pain that we have given birth.
I just don’t understand why all of it hasn’t come to an end.
I can’t see why we haven’t been sent on our journeys to hell and heaven.
I find myself thinking why death has not come to give me peace.
To put all my wonders and suffering to a final cease.
As I watch all the pain in the world around me, I just stand by.
With the burning tears that my eyes have a sudden urge to cry.
To share the remorse and cold grief with those that mourn.
To pass the thoughts of depression, hurt, and having your heart torn.
To think so many sad things can never be undone.
That so many have lost their lives for no real reason.
And I feel as I’m the only that sees,
All the pain that surrounds you and me.
I try so hard to do my part to make one smile spread.
But all my sweet cheer of words has already been said.
Yet I don’t understand how I can keep going on.
So I only pray that by my final breath all this sadness will be gone.
And that maybe one day some one else won’t be blind
To the sins that will soon catch up to the unknowing mankind.
