Try To Understand
i'm sitting here like a fallen leaf waiting to wilt away
living in this world is too much heat
i guess life is just another day
sitting here restless while the years are getting older
trying to cope and make a change while the nights get colder
an adolescence trapped in confusion
their is too much on my shoulder
looking through my review i see people dying
children crying and crime multiplying
why is our love getting weaker from these last few years
why is there so many wars when the only gain is death
taking life for granted when theirs many so desperate
i experience happy days but only for a while
please try to understand the tears of an no longer innocent child
society made me crazy i no longer fear death
cause just living life is an everyday threat
look at your reflection and try to make a change
only happiness can wash away pain
