What lies beneath
Sadness affects all
Brought by evil in the world
Stopped by not a soul
A feeling dreaded by most
Yet happens way too often
A boy goes missing
The mother weeps for her son
Searching all around
Not even a clue to help
Her heart will never be healed
A woman comes home
To an unfaithful husband
With nowhere to go
So she cries herself to sleep
All alone in her dark world
She always will smile
As she's taunted by bullies
Still not knowing why
She will go home every night
Just to contemplate her life
A mother gives birth
To a beautiful baby
Not even close to aware
Of the sickness inside him
Death will rip him from her arms
A clueless puppy
Prances right into the street
To be run over
Soon the young child finds her
And cries time and time again
Life will throw curve balls
No matter who you may be
All that you can do
Is push through and persevere
Even though it's very tough
We all emotions
Some are good and some are bad
Life is just too short
Don't get caught up in the past
And only let life free you
