We

Sometimes we fear 
Without reason 
Sometimes we curse 
And scream 
And cry 
Without provocation 
Sometimes we hate 
Without knowing why 
Sometimes we keep secrets 
That ache deep inside 
Sometimes we think 
Hateful, evil thoughts 
Without meaning it 
Sometimes we lie 
Try so desperately 
To hide
From our reality 
Sometimes we try 
To survive this 
Terrible (Beautiful) life 
And sometimes 
We can't
