50 Shades of Pain

50 SHADES OF PAIN 

Life is nothing without love
Love is nothing without a heart 
But the heart sometimes can mislead 
It can bring pain never expected 

Pain can cause you tears
It can break you into pieces 
A story untold built inside 
Everyday gets darker in pain 

Joy and happiness all lost
But there's nothing to do 
When your pain gains a shade darker 
When you feel helpless and useless 

50 shades of pain 
When you are more delusional than ever 
When depression suppresses you everyday 
Where life takes a turn into the bush

Not knowing how to go about life daily 
Because you can't accept the life you live 
Because no one seems to care about you 
The 50 shades of pain ruling your life 

Stress and anxiety attached to you like a sibling 
The heart confused and pained 
Everyday lived with no meaning 
Because of the 50 shades of pain
