Pain and Sorrow

            All my life I tryed to make my heart into steel
            I would never let anyone get to close or feel
            I have had to much pain and sorrow
            my heart was never to take or borrow

            I lived only on the surface of life
            never getting to deep was my strife
            I poured my heart into my paintings 
            and found the beauty in my surrondings

            Nature is pure and never hurtful
            People can be cruel and deceitful
            So I keep my heart tucked away
            Only showing it in a creative way

            My heart is begging to be free
            but my memories keep it buried inside of me
            Someday I know my heart will win
            but for now I keep it within

            You will say that "pain and sorrow is a part of life"
            but I will say to you "It cuts me like a knife
            There should be two sides to his life of mine
            Pain and Sorrow should create joy in time

            But Joy is something I never found
            I can't seem to get my feet of the ground
            I need to learn to let my spirit fly
            I need to learn to let myself cry

            For I know within this heart of mine
            It needs to learn to take the pain and joy
            and this I know will take time
            but the outcome will be forever mine
