Darker days

Unrequested Pain

People say we grow by learning
I say we grow by yearning.
Even though the pain won't go away
You'll catch yourself going in the wrong direction, being led astray.
Causing tears to rush down your face,
You try to catch yourself, to get back on home base.
Even though you try
You figure out it was all a lie,
Even though you cry
Please don't give up it's not your time to die.
