Hard To Explain

Sometimes he feels good in the morning when he gets up
Sometimes he's sick to his stomach and he throws up
Is he out of luck
Does it have something to do with his past
Why Is his body going down hill fast 
His earliest memory's are filled with pain
Is he losing his mind and going insane
There's never any change
It always remains the same
Is it because he's filled with all kinds of shame
What has he became in this complicated game 
It's hard to explain
He has tried to live his life in the name of the Lord 
Yet his body suffers it feels ignored
Trying to be thankful for what he's got
Yet the painful memories never stop
He's Losing the will 
Taking handfuls of pills
Having a hard time expressing how he feels
He wants to feel loved and rise above
Why does everything always become push to shove
Every day is a battle
Like trying to ride a horse without a saddle
Or being stuck up a creek without a paddle
It all started in the womb
Constantly playing the same tune
The truth will come out soon 
Will he live or will he die
He just wants to run and hide
Scared of everything scared to cry
Scared to see what's on the other side
Will he go to heaven or be denied!
I think maybe his brain is fried!
