What is it that you're struggling with?
What circumstance befalls
To make you shed all of your tears
And wail to wake us all?

Perhaps your best friend moved way
And you can't shrug it off.
Or maybe you don't have friends at all.
Why can't this pain just stop?

Has your brother gone to war
And never made it back?
Are you lonely and depressed
'Cause hope is what you lack?

Maybe you've felt for the first time
What it's like to love,
But he is unaware of this
Though you pray to the heavens above.

Or perhaps he knows and doesn't care
And you are left to cry.
Or maybe he loves your closest friend
And you just want to die.

Maybe you are alone in life,
You have no family.
Perhaps no place to go home to,
Nowhere to simply be.

Maybe you're starting a new school
And you feel so alone.
Or your parents are just fighting,
No trace of their old love.

Did pregnancy come way too soon,
And you don't know what to do?
Or maybe you don't have kids to love
And much pain thus ensues.

Has your grandpa passed away
And all you do is mope?
Why won't this pain just disappear?
I'm tired of trying to cope.

Whatever your predicament,
I know what then befalls.
I should write a book on pain
'Cause I have felt it all.
