Pain Can'T Be Beat
Where are you today
It's been months since I've heard you
I feel like the world sucked out all my blood
all of the world's color, now dull
all of the birds cry
a somber song,
waiting for the howling winter winds
when they can hibernate early
Most times I feel like those birds,
wanting to hide away from this treacherous winter,
trap my own soul beneath the waves of this vast ocean of sorrows
I drown in.
Mask the pain hanging onto your beauty,
your love
but I'm okay to sink
I found peace in the submerging
I don't know me anymore
But I know you
and I know you'd say
keep going
but I'm my mothers daughter
I'm swimming in my doubts
and all that's yet to come
and all that's ever been
are weighted to my feet
Some pain is bearable
but this,
this one you can't beat
