Pain is something held inside Hurts with time and works on pride As it gets worse its hard to change the tide Becomes clear that it cant be described Try as you may, try as you might Its just you alone in this futal fight As they dope you and drug youfor a suppossed help All they want to do is maintain your squelch The more you talk the less they listen Making is all more clear foolishness of your position Wont i get one more chance?They quickly say no Its not their fault , its just for show How much longer canI go on Is it all for real or is it just a fateful song Yes son this is real for you it is Hold tight though and you will get through this There are no true winners in this life Just some that are lucky and avoid the strife They find a place to call their own Where noone can hurt them and convey thoughts of their own ron c7
