Where Trouble Hides
While dodging dangers where trouble hides,
you've learned to beware of trickster games.
And survived the emotional tides
in a sea of strangers with no names.
You can't imagine how love must feel;
for it's a feeling you've never known.
Yet, the ache in your heart is real;
even though it's masked and seldom shown.
Hope has you chasing dream after dream;
yet luck never tends to flow your way.
And at times, you feel the need to scream,
for happiness keeps slipping away.
Lost in a crowd you’re always alone
feeling like you will never belong.
For in this city of tears and stone
everything you do seems to be wrong.
