Youth In Pain
Too troubled in my youth
Too blind to see the truth
My anger I cannot vent
The pain I use to have I do not know where it went
I've heard many cries of pain and sorrow
Hoping that maybe there will be no tomorrow
Tears from my inner thoughts tempt me I forgot about the present
I try not to focus on the future so I choose and exit
Without a clue or doubt
The pain inside shouts out
Destroys you first inside
Then it kills you on the outside
Mixed with fear and mixed emotions
Trying not to start a whole commotion
Tears come forth my eyes
Now the truth inside defines despise
This pain never leaves
However, the pain does reprieve
Inside I am ripping apart
Failing to start
Lord. Give me strength to see the pain
Let my life not be in vain
We the children of the world are deceived
Love adorned on bended knee
From the slavery of this world only;
God can make the children free.
