Coping With the Pain

How can it be true that I’m hurting once again? When one tragedy ends another one soon begins Fighting back tears, I smile to fool you all Despite all of the pain, trauma, and hate I haul For people, places and all of the small things It’s scary what anger the memories can bring Feeling alone with my thoughts of rabid hate Wondering how much more torture I can take Rainbows and butterflies, flowers and bluebirds All it would take is a very few kind words I have a good heart and I can be loving and kind One of these days I hope happiness I’ll find With peace and joy, spread some harmony around Devotion for each other, how does that sound? To be alone is worse than being sick or dead Just like leaving your love, then feeling the dread Coping with the pain alone is not easy or fair But obviously you understand and you care
