Off Record


There's So Much pain in the world
With So many open wounds
So much chaos and fear,
arsenal of chores yet to be completed
Sleep comes with no regards of your duties
Yet responsibilities knocks before the sun even rises
Better days ahead,
Time heal all wounds that's what they said,
Yet
Tomorrow came and passed
And am still hurting


There's So much pain in the world,
It hurts like a double edged sword straight to the heart.
If I cry they'll tag me weak
And if I don't, they'll say "speak up, don't die in silence"


So much impatience from imperfect people
It's funny how I want results when I haven't even started.
I see a lot and want them all
A person who has no job will surely
Go insane when he can't get what only money can get,
I am a product of what may be the last generation.


There's So much pain in the world
I try to stitch up this wounds
Forcing happiness and smiles at everyone
Who I am on the inside would probably scare you
So I make a happy face and fake these laughters
Just maybe then you could accept me for what am not
Instead of running away because of what I actually am.

There's So much pain in the world
Maybe it wouldn't hurt this much if I was only feeling my pains,
Everyone is hurting yet no help forthcoming
I know am supposed to rhyme these
For better reading
But patient left me for wealth
So I battle these things which I can't explain on my own and when am asked how am doing, I simply say "am fine",
What is better to say?
When I don't even know how I am feeling.

I am drawn to your line that goes “ Maybe then you could accept me for what I’m not instead of running away because of what I actually am” It touched me because I have been there and it’s important to realize that you only start living instead of existing when you finally decide to be who you are. Let them run away. They weren’t meant for you anyway.
