A Day In The Life

Many fears control my life
And as I try to hide them
All it leads to is heartache and strife
I can’t seem to do anything about it

I close my eyes and try to forget
all of the pains within my life.
Within my mind I often regret
not telling anyone about their strife.
Day in and day out,
fighting is all that I hear.
I often times try to doubt
that I have a deep fear.

Standing at the crossroads
of choices to be made

A little girl is sitting in the corner.
I can see that there is something wrong.
I ask her what the problem is.
She says that its been going on all along.
Her parents are arguing, and it hurts her so much.
She feels that everyday it’s always her fault.

Many times I’d like to go
to a place far away.
Where all my troubles disappear
and I’d never see pain another day.

Frustration lies within my heart,
ready to be released at any time.
My life is going on but I can’t take part.
For someone has a hold of this life of mine.
Anger burrows in my soul
when that someone does not let go.

I want to live my life my own way
I’m tired of being told
you have to live it this way.
