Is It Me You See

......."  Is It Me You See   " .....



Do you ever wonder why my life's so different from yours,
Or do you think I,m lazy for not doing the simpless of chores,
Do you  ever think why I don't go out clubbing at night, 
Have a beer, and a rant, get into a fight,

And do you  notice that my arm  hangs low,
Or even question why I walk so slow,
And on the phone when I break down and cry
Why do you never think to ask why,

But how can you explain how you feel,
When the words won't come out and your physically ill,
And your stomach turns over and over again,
Because your living a life of constant pain,

When you try to move your arm and you want to cry,
For all you want is the pain to say goodbye,
Feeling so  empty deep down inside,
Like a whole part of you has got up and died ,

Everyday you need pure effort to get out of bed,
And the pains there taking over your head ,
Trying to break free but it's pulling you down,
Wanting to scream but not making a sound ,

Never knowing what tomorrow will bring,
And sometimes it's impossible to care about a single thing,
It's there eating away at your very soul,
Having no answers to break out of your hole,

It takes  you down  lower and lower still,
Or feels like  your rolling down a endless hill
And the lights getting farther and father away,
That all you can hope is for a brand new day,

For can you I wonder not see how isolated my life is,
Where now there is silence, and once there was a happy bliss,
Don't treat me like a different human being,
Look inside me  and like what your seeing , 

Now I know my life's not the same anymore,
But I am the same person even if the pain makes me sore,
The only thing I want is to be treated the same,
And for you to smile and laugh when you say my  name..
