Better Life

I hate watching my life, slip away and disappear

That I may never see another tomorrow, is my biggest fear

Every second that passes, I feel the flames of my heart burn

An escape seems nearly impossible, time for a U turn

I know I’m meant for better, something I can’t deny

Not on others, but myself and my faith, on which I rely

The pain is so severe, it slices right through my veins

Even on the sunniest days, deep in my eyes it rains

How can one torture himself, and not feel an ounce of guilt

Heart, mind, body, and soul, ingredients in which I was built

I scream out for help, but no one responds to my words

I shake my head asking why, then look to the soaring birds

Take me away with you, let me see beyond my troubles

View from the sky and the land, now the insight doubles

Each day that arrives, could be the last one

I’m not ready to leave, cause I know I’m not done

Don’t let me fade away like this, stiff, bitter, and gelid

I got an amazing story inside, and I want to live to tell it

I’ll hurdle over my obstacles, for the negatives, I surely duck

Always pushing forward, for one second I cannot be stuck

I’ll fight the fatigue, keeping myself out of a deep trance

I’ll make the best of everyday, but all I need is a chance
