Learning To Live
The nightmares I am told will soon subside
No more tears ever will I have to hide
The weight of the world will finally be gone
Accusers will finally be proved so wrong
Why am I the one to have to suffer this way?
Where I am faced with pain day after day
These horrible dreams invade my thoughts
I wish that all of this madness hurries and stops
If it takes forever then that is how long I’ll try
To turn this around and prove it is all a lie
To fight and live is to be a great survivor
To give up and die is to be a big quitter
Learning to live can be a very scary thing to do
I’d never be able to if not for you
You are the first thing I see whenever I wake
You are behind every big decision that I make
If it was not for you I’d be a huge mess
Beaten down with hurt, pain, and stress
I’ve been through a hell of a lot this we know
So let’s get to it, my life, let’s just go
