This Is What Life Is
Life is a dagger;
beautiful and fragile, but will stab you in the back.
It will take away the pain and misery,
and bring it all back.
And then you're standing on the edge,
not knowing where to go.
Your past lyes below you,
and so does your living soul
The music rang loud in your ears,
a tear rushed down your face.
And you heard a gunshot,
as the stars danced through the pain.
Now your feelings leave your body
but your body stays on the ground.
You're depressed, stressed
Unconfessed.
You're a mess, tearing apart on the path
that leads you to the end.
And you're so close, but too far to get there.
Too far to look back at the pain and misery he caused you
And the stars, they glistened through the pain.
But your body loses control,
Flames burning through your soul,
only to be shot down by the clouds filling your mind
and refueled by the burning fire inside.
