Caught in this thing,
cannot run away.
I felt this all along,
this pain that is here to stay.
Where is the air?
where is the smiles?
Where is the love?
Where are the hugs?
I've tried so hard to hide my pain,
but it is still here,
still in my way.
I see my friends hurt,
wishing I can help,
my negative attention,
too much pain to bare.
Jokes and laughter I dish out,
smiles and grins I get back in return.
My heart feeling at ease, out of doubt.
But when my life starts again, in the pain of life begins.
