Life can be a pain,


Life can be a pain,

So hard, so tough. 

I would like to paint

a way through.

There is no easy way

Sometimes, my day,

goes gray. 

I think; just get my pay

and get away. 

Hoping my life will change,

get this straight,

I don't want to make it strange

I guess I'll have to wait. 

The truth is,

I want to be strong

be proud,

find where I belong, 

stand out of the crowd.

There is no easy way

Sometimes, my day,

goes gray. 

I think; just get my pay

and get away. 

When will it get easier?

Don't mean to make this touchy

but please just make it breezier

Don't want my life to be this ugly.
