Hard Times

I'm facing hard times here let me explain
I almost lost the love of my life last night
and I almost feel ashamed
I can say it's all good but, really it's not
I'm a poet like no other so how can I lyrically stop
I won't I can't there's a good enough reason
that I could close my eyes and literally stop breathing
I'm a homicide away from a full blooded heathen
and a head shot away from me seeing Jesus.

Pain is Love & Love is Pain
what's the difference, I'm still suffering 
from this emotional rain
If you feel lost in what I'm saying then let me explain
I always felt alone but now
my emotions are kinda hard to maintain

Time after time life gets a little bit harder
but what doesn't kill me makes me a little bit stronger
why do I continue to endure this pain 
for a little bit longer 
why do I put up with life why do I even bother.
