Everyday passes
reminding us of lessons to be learned,
opportunities pass me by
showing me things to be earned
i do not know life as an adult sees it
only as a child and teen
i can only guess what life is meant to be
based on what I've seen
today i learned of love
and the pain that it may bare
you can never know a persons truth
by the masks that they wear
i don;t know the meaning of love
or why it's never true
i;m so unsure of so many things these days
i know less than i thought i knew
i find it's getting difficult
to distinguish the bad form the good
and although it sounds like a cliche
I'm a child misunderstood
i need to move to heaven from this hell
i need to stand up to others
and to myself as well
i don't know how to tell
a good friend from the bad
we talk behind each other's backs
ruining the trust we had
when i stare into the mirror
i see things i wish i could deny
a fear of judgment and confrontation, i can no longer look myself in the eye
if everybody had to go through torment and through pain
if they understand the hurt
is someone else's gain
if they can feel the
the burden of their fears
and know the cost
of showing their tears
if they know how it feels
to have a lover or a friend
stab their backs with knives
why are they so cruel to say
they are the best years of our lives
