Injustice

Life never is and never has been fair

I ponder again, as I sit in this chair

Someone taking from this life so violently

We all walk around mindlessly

A child lies awake at night

Not sure what is right

He doesn’t know what went wrong

He just knows he doesn’t belong

A husband and wife start to fight

Unsure if everything will be alright

He lost his job and security

They feel so lost in obscurity

A lonely man walks down the street

Never looks up, but at his feet

People pass by and never notice

A life that’s lost and hopeless

A Soldier comes home from a war

Praying that his life would be restored

He has seen many things in his short life

It all remains in the midst of pain and strife

A rich man sits in his office chair

A life of riches full of despair

He thought money would make life right

It all needs to end, and it just might

Life never is and never has been fair

I ponder again as I sit in this chair

Someone taken from this life so violently

We all walk around aimlessly

A Life Lost

A life lost is never easy

A soul of a friend

That was here but briefly

A life lost will bring some tears

And hurt and pain

With so much to fear

A life lost that just slips on by

You feel regret

That you never said goodbye

A life lost hurts so bad

Stopped so short

As erased from this writing pad

A life lost is never easy

A soul of a friend

That was here but briefly

Pain

Will I ever get over this pain inside

It’s always there no matter where I hide

I try and try to push it back

It’s always there and it fights back

Where do I fit into life’s plans

Everything is held in my hands

This weight is too heavy

It’s all messed up in this frenzy

Will I ever get over this pain inside

It’s always there no matter where I hide

I try and try to push it back

It’s always there and it fights back

Here it comes yet again

I can feel it starting to begin

The clouds are starting to boil

From this inner turmoil

Will I ever get over this pain inside

It’s always there no matter where I hide

I try and try to push it back

It’s always there and it fights back

My thoughts are all in a fight

Not knowing, where is the light?

This is the beginning of an explosion

As I suppress these emotions

Will I ever get over this pain inside

It’s always there no matter where I hide

I try and try to push it back

It’s always there and it fights back

My emotions are all scattered

Like none of this even mattered

I don’t know where I am

I don’t know where to begin again

Sleep

As I lie here ready to weep

Trying my hardest to get to sleep

All the memories start to come back

Here comes the darkest black

I cannot believe that you are gone

It’s like you were just a pawn

Taken from this life

By the cut from this sharp knife

The dreams they keep coming

I feel myself succumbing

To this dark hole

Deep inside my soul

I do not want to fall asleep

I do not want to weep

I do not want to dream

Every time I do, I want to scream

The dreams make me hurt

I have tried to avert

And make them go away

I try and try and pray

They keep coming back

I’m always under attack

I want them to stop

I feel myself starting to drop

I’m falling farther in

Here is the beginning

I don’t know where I am

Inside is nothing but mayhem

It’s dark and lonely here

I just want to disappear

I don’t want to do this

As I start to reminisce

I don’t want to be down

Feeling like I’m going to drown

In these harsh feelings

And making these pleadings

I want it all to end

I want my heart just to mend

I don’t want to hurt anymore

I’m stuck inside this war

This war of life and death

It’s there with every breath

It’s never ending

And only the beginning

I’m falling asleep

Falling into the deep

It’s there, I’m almost gone

It has finally won.
