It's my life

I'm tired of being told what to do
I'm tired of all the hate
You don't know what I've been through
Don't tell me to sit and wait

I'm told I'm insane
I'm told I don't know how I feel
I'm told that I fake pain
I'm told that none of it is real

Why do people expect me to fail
Why can't they see the good in me
Why have you closed the trail
Why won't you let me be

My problem isn't about my journey
It isn't about my destination
It isn't about if you had heard me
It's stuck in endless restoration

I don't ever really sleep
I don't dream anymore at all
I don't think I ever weep
All I ever do is fall

I'm used to nothing going my way
I'm used to being lost in my mind
Nobody listens to what I say
I'm told just pray and you will find

I'm not someone you can deceive
I'm not someone who is weak
I'm not someone whose will we leave
My thoughts I always will speak

You don't understand what is in my head
Yet I'm told to let it go
So many advice that has been said
But who are you to know

We all go through pain
But none are really the same
Hit with a different stain
A different picture within the frame

We can bring joy to the depressed
We can bring love to the hated
We can bring a voice to the unexpressed
We can bring solace to the berated

But you can't fully comprehend it all
No way for you to know what's true
We all put up an outer wall
It's impossible to get fully through

So as much as we can think
As much as we can dream
Even with the strongest link
The answers aren't what they seem

My whole life I have liven
The path I have taken
The journey I was given
The truth I have awaken

I can't see how things will work
I can't see what the future holds
I can't see what might just lurk
I have to wait till it unfolds

So yes we all go through things
Yes life can be cruel
Yes the pain it stings
Yes we are the fool

I can't fully relate to what you feel
The pain and emotion is pretty clear
But we all have wounds from which we heal
The wound is deeper than it may appear

You can't help without conversation
You can't help without learning to listen
You can't help without observation
You will not achieve your mission

We are all afraid to fail
So instead we move apart
With the hammer we hit the nail
But don't know where to start

The problem is that we don't want to admit
We don't want to admit we could be wrong
Other beliefs we do not permit
We want others to follow along

The world doesn't work like that
You can't change other's thoughts
Opinion is made into a fact
We are still connecting lines to dots
