The Sun Still Shines

I've been hurt more than you know, there is so much I've been through,  I've been hit, pushed, shoved and choked until I've turned blue.
My heart's been broke and torn apart it's a miracle it still works, and even though I'm strong and wear a smile, on the inside it really hurts.
I've lost so many loved ones along with a lot of friends, everything for me seems to end before it ever even begins.
No, my life has not been easy, it's had bumps along the way and I'm left broken hearted each and every day.
It's something I should be used to, but it's hard getting used to being in pain, it's hard to get used to feeling empty inside, and it's hard to keep myself from going insaine.
I do my best to hold it together and I try to stay strong, and I manage to say I'm okay when there's more than a little bit wrong.
I know things will get better, I know it just takes some time, and even in the stormiest weather the sun will always shine.
