Handle My Pain


Sometimes I feel down and out and I dont know how to deal

I try to cope by working out, plus I like the feel

Day after day, night after night, I constantly faced with nothing right

But the day will come when I will find, my life, my love and piece of mind

When I feel like I can take no more, I work out harder than the night before

But you know what, there's something else

Yes its that book thats on my shelf

Accompanied by words, a necessary filler, mind chiller, like thick smoke

Those words consume my mind as my conscience chokes

Now I got cloudy dreams that need to be clear

Spewed out frustrations in the form of a tear

If your pain is like mine then what do I do

I'm calling out for help from someone like you

And all I want is for this pain to be through

And if you can't help then don't bother askin

Cause you only add to the strength of the furious passion

And I'm sick and tired of all the tongue lashin

So I guess I'll go out in a productive fashion
