Troubles

written by: OurSacredHonor

why is everything so difficult?
I'm trying my hardest but with no result
the outcome's a failure, always a catastrophe
the truth evades me
endlessly
constantly
I can't find the answers to my questions
I don't listen, and don't learn the lessons
that life tries to teach
and outward I reach
to no avail
I try and fail
again and again
over and over but just like then
I would make the choices
can't escape these voices
plaguing me like a sickness
I can't escape this
it's buried deep inside
and no matter how hard I try to hide
it keeps trying to push to the surface and break through
I don't know where to turn, or who to run to
it's destroying everything that I am and have become
Don't have the words so I bite my tongue
and let these thoughts slip away
and live disturbed by the tension yet another day
by these problems I'm entranced
but I won't take a chance
and risk it all
I'm to afraid to fall
I won't bet even these broken dreams
on one roll of the dice
the payout just won't suffice
I won't pay the price
and give it all in
just because I can't win
doesn't mean I have to quit
I can do it
It'll just take some time
to sort things out and make things fine
once again
so I pick up my pen
and scribble down these thoughts
that wrought
so much havoc and chaos
made the waves that toss
and turn me in my sleep
when the dark is deep
and the slope is steep
and though these thoughts went away, back they creep
to continue
within me, thinking about you
it's true
I do
but i don't know why
so a stream of tears
pours from my eyes
I cry
all alone
no one's home
cuz no one cares
no one's there
but I haven't given up yet
and if you're true to me you'll bet
that in the end when this feeling goes away
I'll be back again to fight another day
I'll keep pushing on
through the stormy weather
and whenever
wherever
this decides to bring me
I'll stay true to you like I always do
and I know we'll get through
the bumpy trip
this relationship
was made to last
and when we get past
all the trouble waters
and we get back into the dreams of sons and daughters
I know everything will be fine
and I know that you'll always be mine
