Painisreal
Everyday I'm stuck
in between a living nightmare
and the path I'm paving to happiness...
And the pain I feel is real
just like the mistakes I made
that got me here
And there's nothing more
That I hold dear
Than the only thing
Thats missing here
And Here's an understatement
I'm doing better now
than I was before
Really lucky to be living
Sitting here breathin
And not dead on the floor
And even though I've changed
and i thought I crossed the finish line
It doesn't change the damage done
Doesn't bring home my only son
Lucidity is now my state of mind
Where I feel hate for myself
for choices I've made over time
I'll tell myself to keep trying
Because it probably does
mean something
And I won't give up
doing the next
best thing
even though getting there
seems so far away
Because I want to believe I'll be happy
If I do all these things
Because if not life sucks and has no meaning.
