Alive

I searched...and as i looked around, All i could find was abuse to be found, I got so tired of digging to see, Searching this inner cause that caused them to be, Scared of love...scared of life, Penetrating the very cause of their strife, The war of their souls..a multitude of worries, Layers upon layers of pain in the making, I thought this was the only way..to truly see, To sit through the pain so that love had a lead, That maybe the example..the harder we try, That will draw out the love and give it a chance to survive, I had to leave phony and fake in the dust, The pretend smiles and waves i knew i couldn't trust, I loved the lesser, and i accepted less, Because the blessings were in the storm and put my heart to the test,
