The pain and the struggle...They are just words.

It’s hard to feel them when you feel hurt

 

It's hard to relate when you don’t associate especially when your mind is in a different 

mind state. 

 

You choose to block out the sadness; and you choose to only realize gladness

The truth is, it’s all around you; you can’t cover it up like a tattoo

The ink is an engraving of who you are; but you can choose to let it become

 your scar.

 

Although it’s hard to let go; it’s hard to hold on

Because time is with you, then poof it’s gone…

I don’t know what I am doing, but I am trusting in you.

God’s timing is perfect and I know that to be true

 

As hard as it may seem; it could always be harder

You may be living the dream; but someone is losing their father.

It’s not as simple as it seems; don’t take it out of context.

 

If you are lost and cannot see; flip to the table of context

You may hum a happy tune; but your heart isn’t with it.

 

You put a smile on your face and hope that people will dismiss it.

You have a very strong faith; but lack on some beliefs

 

Oh God please help me- I don’t know what to think.
