Why does there have to be
So much pain in a life?
Why does a single person
Have to go through so much strife?
To be torn between love and hate
To the point where it seems like death
Is the only escape.
Why do we have to go through the bad
Just to appreciate the good?
To look at the past and think
Of all of our “I should’s”.
When does it stop?
When does it end?
So much pain in a life…
Why does it have to begin?
What is it exactly
That we are suppose to learn?
Hurt, sorrow, fear, pain, and being burned.
So much pain in a life…
It just isn’t fair.
Are we suppose to come out of it
With a heart that cares?
So much pain in a life,
I just don’t understand.
How can such a small word
Change everything about who I am?
