The Pain Changed Me

The stars stopped shining and twinkling
the shiny surfaces turned dull
the light turned into darkness
my life turned into darkness

When I walk in the road I see accidents
when I get to school I get hopeless
when I look at everyone I see devastation and trauma

But when I look at myself
the accidents and hopelessness 
seems nothing compared to the pain I endured
the tears I had to shed

The hopes I had to lose
my heart wish broke multiple times
the suicidal thoughts and doings
the too much pain at a young age

The sufferings I had to suffer
the depression I was in and still in
the poverty I was in and still in
the mocking I always get from others

it's painful, it's sorrow, it's misery
pain changed me and I'm still enduring it

???? Shuuuuuu, this went straight to the heart. It's very sad, it left me very emotional and worrying about you. I hope that you can cope with life, I care, be blessed dear. Keep your faith in God only. He will never leave you, nor forsake you.
