What’s wrong with this life bound of misery and strife?
Wishing and hoping, rejoicing and moping.

The pounding, the beating, ongoing and repeating.
I’m lost, yet I’m found; I’m safe, yet not sound.

The pain and the grief; the stress and relief.
The love, yet the hate; so glad, yet so irate.

I’m smiling, yet frowning; life’s yellow, yet browning.
It’s great but it sucks; it’s simple, but it’s fucked.

So easy, yet hard; so crisp, yet charred
Clear but confused; fine but abused.

Shall I stand in this world of demand?
Or shall I drown and let mourning resound?

All that I need is to lay back and breathe.
To take all the time just to figure out why.

Why I am here and full of this fear.
Why I am screaming when I ought to be dreaming.

Now I must see the beauty in me.
I must open my eyes and remove this disguise.

I must look to the sky with my hopes soaring high
Reach into my heart and let the happiness start.
