They say pain is only temporary

Don't worry, it will go away

But the pain feels like forever

When it's 24/7 a day

It's like getting stabbed in the chest

100 times with a sharp knife

Fighting back but the knife wins

So is this supposed to be life?

Don't worry again they say

The pain will go soon and fast

But how do they know that?

When it seems like it will last?

It will get better in time they say

Just hold on tight

But how can you hold on

When you're tired of the fight?

So you sit and you fight

Because what else can you do

Until you get tired of the pain

And give up cause you're through

So you have to bear the pain

Because that is what you're told

But you don't want to do it anymore

You just feel so numb and cold

So what can you do?

Just wait and see?

I guess that's what you have to do

Since life is a mystery

No one asks for pain

But they still say just be strong

But how much can a person take

If it has been so long

It will get better again they say

Just try and stay sane

So I guess I have no choice

But to let in the pain

This is not a life I want

I want more inspiring things to gain

But for right now I have to fight

Until I defeat the pain
