To understand , To Feel, To dream
I wish i could make you see the pain ive felt
To understand me and what i do
The nights i spent alone praying to god to save me
The days i smiled when all i wanted to do was cry
The times id beg for mercy and still was knocked down
The horror of feelings can be devestating and crippling as much as exciting
Even when its over the feelings remain
Its a roller coaster of ups and downs
Its been blessed as much as it has been painful to endure
The dreams i had to create and build a happier world
The ideas and inventions in my head unaware of how to escape
The days i agreed to things i didnt want because i was pressureed
The secrets i kept because of fear
The homes ive lost due to anger and hurt and mistrust
The people ive broke when i couldnt love my self
To see how hard i was trying to protect people from this storm ive wheathered
The days i spent trying to make someone aknowlede or be proud of me
The days i walked halls with my eyes on a mission to get somewhere
The homes i felt enpty in
The sunsets that all i wanted was my family
Tbe nights id lay on the dock fearing whats to come
I wish you could see the hurt of wanting your parents healthy and happy and there
The joy and pain that comes from being raised with mixed roles gets confusing
To see the light of day of losing everything and everyone you loved
To understand the cycle of life
To know what it takes to over come the things that should have killed me
