Sight

There's pain in these eyes, 
cause I dont know what's right/ 
and try as I might, 
I can't fix my sight/
There's hope in my head,
But hurt in my chest/
The Air in my lungs,
Could pierce any vest/
 
Am I entitled to happiness/
Or do I owe it to the rest?/
I want to shun my selfish needs/
But would that take from what makes me?/
Are these things even worth asking?

When do you decide, 
that it's too much/
When it always feels 
like never enough?/
How do you know 
you're in the wrong/
And not just making
yourself strong?/

Do i fight for happiness,
Or do I need to love this mess?/
I want to shun my selfish needs,
But would that take from what makes me?/
Are these things even worth asking?

How does anyone know, 
what is really right/
When it's always different 
in another's eyes?/
How does anyone Know,
what feelings are wrong/
When we fear our own,
No matter how strong/
