No One Knows My Pain

No one knows my pain 
Am always up before my alarm clock 
Cos no one chose my time for me 
I refuse to be behind the hands of  time
The times are hard but I don't care 
I chose to balance my process
To my realities 
This is the real truth I see 
So I can't be sleeping in the rains of needs 
Remember I never chose the dark clouds 
Of challenges
Am only sorting for life 
I don't need to be told what the time says 
No wonder am always up before my alarm clock
I know my pain better 


No one knows my pain
I can't sleep at night 
Tell me how to catch a sleep 
In a world of traps unavoidable
Tell me how to sleep when 
It hard to come 
Am not a watch man 
Yet the world is difficult for me to see 
Through the eyes of corn fellows 
Who choose ignorance instead of freedom
When the mind Is far from reality 
Then your life become the game of the wiser
So I feel no grudge for life  yet I can't sleep
When is not the time to die.
