How Many

How many times will I be wrong before I am right? How many of my days will be overcome by night? How many of my sunny days be turned into rain? How many pills would it take to stop my pain? How may tears do I shed to bury my sorrow? How many of my nights will have a tomorrow? How many screams will it take for me to be heard? How much longer will my future be blurred? How many years will I cry over my mother? How long will it take for me to trust another?
