The Story of Life

by Catherine Stephens   Aug 22, 2006


The Story of Life
1) Sitting all alone
In the darkness of the world
Waiting for the right time
To reenter my existence

2) Theyll never know
The way they hurt me
Oblivious to what I had felt
And still felt

3) They'll never know
What I did, my effort
To ignore them, to completely
Shut them out

4) But now they say theyre sorry
But sorry is not good enough
It will never be
It will never overcome my hurt

5) It will never satisfy my vengeance
My vengeance against them
For what they did hurt me
Hurt me bad

6) Sitting there in the shadows
Overcome with fear
Never realizing the life around me
Or the friend that stood by me

7) Always ignoring her
Like she never existed
Even though she had always
And still does stand by me

8) She never looked down on me
But always as an equal
Although I did not
I knew, just knew

9) I knew that she had always
Always been my friend
But I had never noticed
Never, until now

10) Now, I notice, and I realize
That she had always cared
Cared about my feelings
And how I live my life, and now

11) Sitting out in the open
The sunlight shining down
Releasing the fear
That had held me back for so long

12) Strolling along, never looking back
At the life I once had
Now introduced to a new world
And loving it

13) Until a time
A time of rage
She turned against me
taunting me from the side

14) Anger flowing through and through
Never pausing for even a moment
So here I am now
Back to where I started

15) Sitting there all alone
In the darkness of the world
Waiting for the right time
To reenter my existence
