Something I'Ve Learned To Live With
sorrow-
from my pen bleeds...
it's always been this way,
you know?
...something I've learned to live with.
I’ve walked the path of remorse-
suffered in silence;
no way out-
nowhere to turn for forgiveness.
anguish-
on my parchment is written…
it’s always been this way,
you know?
…something I've learned to live with.
I fear the fear others fear-
I need not strength,
for the baggage is just too heavy to carry.
torment-
from my words are spelled out…
it’s always been this way,
I know this...
...it’s just something I’ve learned to live with.
