The Ordinary People


I wonder sometimes, If the ordinary people realize how lucky they are, Lucky not to be in pain, Every moment, Lucky not to realize, That for many, Living hurts, It's so incredibly painful some days, That many would choose, Would choose to stop, Just to get away from the pain, I pondered this thought every day, Until I realized, No one is truly ordinary, Are they? So I do wonder sometimes.
