Break Through the Sorrow

It's tough to be strong when you feel beaten down Takes a piece of you with Every time, every round Each time you get up from the previous fall Quick like a fox! Crash! Down comes a wall Pinning you to sorrow, taking it's share Pecking at your bones Leaving only despair Why? Oh why? Must it always be me? Picking up the pieces You look up and plea "I'm a good person" "My conscience is clear" "I don't understand" You want someone, to hear Always on egg shells just waiting to crack you're so tired, this sorrow Like a knife in your back Sometimes you can grasp at the good times, that tell you appreciate the break from living in Hell Take each day as it's own Arise and declare; "Today will be a good day" The sorrow, you dare "I choose to be wiser" "Throw me your best" Learn the lessons it teaches and discard the rest For that break, when it comes Will strengthen your sight your thoughts for the future, can change to be bright In a moment, the clarity A break from the sorrow Could come anytime, It could be tomorrow
