The Silver Lining

Life’s never black and white
There are always shades of grey
There’s no clear distinction between wrong and right
People tend to do things their own way.
 
People always say to look for the silver lining
Yet how can I with this unbearable pain?
My quality of life was dramatically declining
Why my own father would put me through this, even I can’t explain.
 
I can’t stand people who talk so easily
Without understanding the actual facts
I yearn for a better life almost dreamily
I had no idea how much of an impact this would have…
 
On my life and on my perspective of life
Instead of achieving things out of merit, it’s based on favors or connections
He took the life out of me; didn’t even need a knife
I became damned ambitious to turn my life around to another direction.
 
I’ll tell you something about the silver lining
Only us humans can control its outcome
The need to ignore the pain can be quite blinding
But I just can’t forget nor forgive; I won’t stop until I’ve won.
 
I don’t see how the shit I’ve gone through can have a beneficial outcome
Aside from learning not to give a shit on those who couldn’t give a damn about me
I’m too young to have gone through what I did, but my life’s just begun
And I’ll make damn sure that no one will ever again fuck with me.
