Raven Shadowborne: Living With Pain II

LIVING WITH PAIN II

Aug 13, 1997

Every day is the same

each day filled with pain

can't do what I want to
can't do what I need to

I am forced to sit

sit and watch

                        my life fade away
                        my children grow apart
                        it tears at my heart

                        I wonder why
                        why does it have to be this way
                        I try to stay upbeat
                        to smile through the tears

                        inside I am dying
                        my heart cries for release
                        my mind aches to live again

                        to be able to walk, to run
                        everything on hold
                        as I watch my life go by

sitting, stranded

wrapped within this cloud of pain..
