Lost in Pain

by Bill Turner   Dec 12, 2005


Oh what do I do with my life?
Not selling myself short
Compromise who I am, never!
I have never bent to another's will
Sooner you have me to kill

I feel hands upon my soul
Pulling me in new directions
What of my values and beliefs?
Is this the price to feel love?
Cannot believe this is condoned above

Fingers tearing at my heart
Ripping it into shreds
Scattering the pieces all around
Looking for the prize inside
Finding only my stubborn pride

I am still standing tall
Feeling so empty, so alone
All the others will ever see
Is the face I gamely show
No one will ever really know

There is a pain buried deep inside
No amount of booze and pills can kill
It haunts me this dark, cold night
Come morning I will face the game
Knowing that I am to blame

If only I had shined it on
No one need ever touch this heart
Life without ever feeling
Beat the hell out of this pain
The dark thoughts that haunt my brain

    Bill
    I hide things in my life that truly bother me because I don't want no one to worry. But you know I've learnt now to try to talk about it with others, it does help... but at least you're able to let it out through you writing about it and I do the same....It helps and I hope one day soon your pain will cease and your life once again will shine....

    Love Ann
