These Sorrows

Can you feel my tears 
they are flowing like the wind
heavy like these burdens that I carry oh too well
Even the thriving of my heart has felt me struggle
But now I await as my world is cluttered as a bundle
i can hardly see ahead
I feel as if I am blind
My head hurts from all the pain
and my fingertips are numb 
Just hoping that soon it'll all be over 
before this life of mine is done
Wanting these things that I cannot have
choosing the wrong path
that my feet has chosen to bare
picking up others pieces and forgetting about my own
I see now what use to be my problem
is now of something I've grown
Some sorrows I can forget
some I will carry to my grave
And no matter what the reasons are
I will never deliver the blame
I have no friends and know of no one
trying to figure out if that one happy moment in my life has won
This battle that I carry so well
and these tears that are flowing like the wind
I have put behind me
and shall never carry another burden again
This life that I walk with pride
I can see straight through another fools eye
so now I'm living and my eyes and heart have not yet cried
