Sometimes
Sometimes it feels as if you're a million miles from happiness
Despite the painted smile of a clown
he still cries
Sometimes friends are not aware of your load
The weight you carry is more than you can bear
somehow you find the strength to keep moving
Sometimes loneliness stabs like knives
Speaking to kill the silence
echoes of nothing fills your ear
Sometimes family is worst enemy
Taking but never giving
yet you love
The worst of all things can be seen
Sometimes being low is all we need
to be thankful for what is before us
Rain will always come
Sometimes the sun also shines
shedding truth to these words
Peace will become your light
Sometimes you will use it
at other time you may be the fool
