My Life In Mathematics

I add up all my tears 
And subtract these from my joys 
Then i calculate my fears 
And divide my broken toys 

My pain equals infinity 
And my smiles are single digits 
These numbers, they mean nothing to me 
So what is the deal with it?

For you to understand me 
Just follow this equation 
Myself subtract my family 
It's me against the nation 

Add up all your hopes and dreams 
And multiply with kisses 
Minus all your tearstained screams 
And that equals my hits and misses
