Ever Growing Pain
So where do we turn when all seems lost and broken?
I asked myself every night holding my head in my hands
But in realizing that somehow my heart was still beating I
felt relieved
I felt that even though so much has happened, I still managed
to breath
My head may be down but I am still floating above the
surface
In all my confusion and pain, somehow I have risen above
myself
And even though I am filled with so much fear for tomorrow
I know nothing will ever stop it from coming, so I will in
turn do my best
I will try to be the leader of the lost, instead of the lost
among leaders
I have seen leaders only lead the strong, and the weak
straggling behind too often
Hiding my wounds, I will try to lead others in the right
path
Bleeding in my side, I will continue without a second
thought
Beaten down and left behind, I will not forget who I am and
become distraught
Through comments and whispering lies, I will continue to
tomorrow
With hope that tomorrow can somehow be better
That in my living, I can help others, even if I am not
helped
That somehow I will find someone to hold my hand as I sit
and wait
Everyone around me whispers that hope is lost and tomorrow
will never come
But instead I continue to walk ignoring the voices I cannot
see
Concentrated on the tasks at hand, and ignoring the rain on
my back
Even when others leave me outside to the cold Earth
I sit and wait for tomorrow to begin, with hope for the run
to rise
Even when all the leaders around me seems wrong in there
ways
I continue to fuel my ideas and beliefs instead of admitting
failure
When everyone gives up their ideal to the idol Gods before
them
I turn a blind eye and walk past the Golden Calf
Afraid and tired of what could possible happen next, I close
my eyes
I go to the one place where everything makes sense
And I wait for my mind to calm and return to its task
Even with the world on our shoulders, we can all find peace
somewhere
Any where from a place to a friend, to an object that means
something
Salvation can be found, even in me
But once again, my mind is scrambled to a paste of nothing
With thoughts colliding with each other, I become numb
My body following automatic commands, as weary as it is
Everything backed up in my mind, but confusion falls over me
Where do we go from here I wonder? Where do you turn when
you lose your way?
I am left to re-invent myself, shed the old and start the
new
From ashes to flesh as I mend all the past to form the
future
One step at a time, may seem like a slow process but it
never fails
Even at our weakest we can find the peace and quiet in life
At our most tired, we find a way to stay awake through the
day
With the most pain, we manage to forgive and walk again
When all is lost, just finding anything is something
