Changing Life


A night has left

A day has come

My life in agony has again begun

Another day of torture

Another day of shame

Walking into places, them shouting my name

Pointing, Laughing, Telling, Screaming

Am I even dreaming?

No, I'm not it's my life I'm seeing

i knew I wasn't perfect

I knew I wasn't right

I knew that in us there was no chance to reunite

All for one and one for all was the way to be

For them it's all of them except for me

I cry myself to sleep in the arms of my mother

She tells me "Everything will be alright one way or another"

I don't even understand what's the hurry

No one craes about me, no one even worries

It is 1-2-3 strikes you're out what we are playing for!

Why am I not out if I'm already at 24?!

That's why I give up, I can't take it anymore!

I sit at the corner of my bed 

Wondering "Am I better off alive or dead?"

It's a game like life but at this point it's life and death

I chose what was right and what I thought could have been best

I had no answers and I knew I had failed the test

I focused on me and forgot about the rest

I was important no matter what they thought of me

I was proud of what God brought me out to be.

The mirror asked me, "What do you think about your outside?"

I told it, "That's not what matters, what matters is the inside"

I don't understand what's the difference between them and I

We all have a heart, a soul, and a midn

I thank God for always being there at my side

Because he is the true hero, my real hero & guide

Because of him in many occasions I have survived

And now I finally to my decision have arrived.

I would fight for what I'm living for and what I want to be

Because I'm human like the rest of you and I have the right to dream.

 

Amen
