LIFE

by KRISTA   Jul 17, 2006


Life's expectations have gotten to high,
There are no tears left for me to cry.
The pressure has pushed me to the ground,
Tested my limits, kicked me around.
What have I done to get myself here?
Where will I be this time next year?
What does the future hold for a person like me?
Can I really live up to all I can be?
I've made my mistakes and have hardened my heart,
I've let people in that have torn me apart.
So what's left of the shattered pieces of me?
What's left of the girl locked up without a key?
What's left is a girl with a heart that's been bruised,
A soul that's been exposed, a love that's been used.
So don't tell me in time I'll get over this pain,
Don't tell me that in this life I have something to gain.
Because the way I see it this world is full of lies.
I don't have a problem with the "I love you's" I just don't wanna stick around for the goodbye's.

    You did a good job Krista. I really liked it. The flow was really good up until the last part:

    Because the way I see it this world is full of lies.
    I don't have a problem with the "I love you's" I just don't wanna stick around for the goodbye's.

    The last line is a little too long. I just think it would sound better if you shortened it a little.

    Awesome job though.
