FACING THE PAIN

I want to run, I want to hide

I want to lock these feelings inside

Can I deal with it, can I cope?

Is it something I dare to hope?

Will I be healthy, will I survive?

Or will I keep this rage alive?

Will I let it eat at me, will I let it hurt?

Will I keep feeling like a piece of dirt?

Will I develop ego, will I develop self?

Will I have the riches, and the wealth;

Of a love, of a trust, of a peace of mind

A healthy life, ties that bind

I can take, but can I give?

Can I take a chance to live?

As my own person, in my own way;

Will I ever see a brand new day?
