Pain

The desperate search for happiness,

The longing to show my goodness,

The endless fight if a wounded soul,

Darkened heart as black as coal.

On and on, round and round,

The turmoil of sorrow and hurt goes on,

Unable to runaway,

One is consumed in pain.

All things are changing,

I'm sick of weeping,

The waste of the ocean shore,

The barnacles that cling.

We weep, we cry,

We laugh, we smile,

Only to be hurt by one trial,

Life is a lesson, learn it well.
