The Way Life Is

You feel upset

Annoyed, destroyed

Like the world is against you

Even though it isn’t

You complain and mumble

Shout and scream

You want to cry

But you don’t know why.

You’re ashamed, depressed

You’re yelled at.

Your friends are angry with you

They don’t understand you.

They hate you, despise you

You wish they didn’t

You tell them your feelings

You wish you hadn’t

They say you shouldn’t feel that way

You can’t help it

You’re all washed up

You need someone to talk to

But they won’t listen

They’re tired of you

They say “It’s your fault,

Shut-up don’t complain”

You wish you could

You know you should

You blame everything, everyone

When it’s you, you should blame

Not them, not life, but you

That’s what they say

You know it’s true

But you just can’t comply,

To admit that it’s you

You want to talk

They won’t listen

All you do is complain

Shout, scream, annoy

You don’t talk

They would listen

If you’d just try to explain

Without being a pain

But you can’t

So you feel alone

Hated, destroyed

Worthless, annoyed

You decide you want to die

But you shouldn’t

Then you must realize

That it’s not them it’s not you

It is life

We all go through it

We all feel it

It’s there, we must face

We must learn to cope

With the way things are

It is life

You think you can’t deal

Because of how you feel

But remember you can

Just trust, just believe

That God is right with you

And He will never leave.

Just believe.
