Paper Tears
I open the window
it indicates its a new day
It’s raining once again
so I turn away
“It’s gonna be alright”
Are the words I try to say
It still hurts a bit
so are you sure I’ll be okay?
I stand here wondering
It’s hard to know what I can do
Everything’s difficult
that is so simple for you
Maybe if I could close my eyes
and sleep my pain will vanish too
who am I kidding I’ve tried that and I know
It’s not true...
I’ve just stood up but now I can’t see
Do you know why that is?
Do you know why I am dizzy?
Oh, I am freezing cold
I can’t stop feeling chilly
So I’ll try to move again
It’s almost been a year since I have felt hungry
It’s a tasteless, painful, cold and spinning world, then.
Butterflies, start to fly, drifting off into the sky
And for them, it’s not hard, and so I wonder why?
If living isn’t tough, then why is it so hard to breath?
The words I’ve said have always been “I'll fly again someday...”
So, why is it that I am hurting?
And why is it that nothing is working?
Do you have any answers for me that you know?
No? Well that’s okay, I thought so...
And now all I want to do is get myself back
I want to run, I want to scream, I want to let it out
I would cry like I did every day until now
But even that hurts so I’ll sigh
ahh..
And the one thing that I would like for Christmas:
I’d like my life back so I can start to live
I know that this sounds strange
But is that a gift that you could give?
Even now I have goals and dreams
Things to do, people to see
Now I miss my friends, my school, my family and me
I’ve missed out on many things, laughter, birthdays, and airplane wings
But that is something that painful suffering brings
I don’t want to miss out on a single moment more
The words I’ve said have always been “We’ll try another day...”
So then how much longer must all this last?
You have told me just a week more in the past...
So I let myself believe that I could endure
Thinking it’s just a little more...
I have transformed in many ways you know
I look different from what I did a year ago
I would cry like I did every day until now
But even that hurts so I’ll sigh...
ahh...
In the end I ought to make due
if I am forever ill I will not loose
Because although it’s bad it still could be worse
For now my illness is an endless fight,
But in the end I know that there will be light...
But still, as I struggle, I have to wonder...
Can't anyone tell me why I'm hurting?
Or explain why nothing is working?
Has anyone thought of anything this past year?
Or does no one care to make it clear...
I am always trying to be as tough as I can
I will smile, I will laugh, but could you understand?
I would cry like I did every day until now
But even that hurts so I’ll sigh
ahh..
