The Pain Has Stopped
The pain has stopped
……finally
I ‘m off my knees can hear myself
whisper…. I’ll be okay…please let me be okay
even if it's just for ….today
it’s funny how life goes
one day you have it all
the next nobody knows
………you or cares who you are
what you do or where you been
the autographs you've signed
when people were easily wooed
but now, they only care about
the color of your sins
as for me I ‘ll stand again
on my own again …but I’ll stand again
but i am on my knees to say
the pain has finally stopped
….thankfully
got to a point where life did not
matter….where going on was a debate
dragged me down life’s long ladder
left me there
…. to cry
and I did and I have
….and perhaps tomorrow i will again
but no more tears... today , thankfully
….the pain is gone for now
