Sometimes it hurts to feel
The pain searing hot in our blood
Sometimes it hurts to know it's real
The stress and anger and sadness do flood
Sometimes it's easier to pretend dreams are real
Reality meets fantasy in your mind
Sometimes it's better to go numb, and not feel
Happiness and laughter lost, never to find
Sometimes your soul is shattered into more than one part
They splinter and break in to thousands of beautiful pieces
Sometimes the shattered pieces pierce your heart
Maybe this is better to feel until the other pain ceases
Sometimes you're lost and you don't want to be found
Lost the light to give in to the dark
Sometimes you'd fly but your wings are pinned to the ground
Their anchoring words have made a mark
Sometimes the night is more beautiful than sun
The light is bothersome as it burns your eyes
Sometimes you feel you're completely done
Done with all of these lies
Sometimes you are surrounded by liars
Each of their words burn and surround you
Sometimes their hot words break out in to fires
You can't put it out, you don't know what to do
Sometimes you read in hopes you will feel better
You think others can help with the stories they tell
Sometimes you seek comfort within every letter
But sometimes the truth is you can't escape your personal living Hell
