They say all wounds heal as time goes on
But can they bring a person back from the dead when theyre already gone
Because you can be alive and still not living
When nothing you feel is worth believing
I tried so hard to live up to peoples expectations
But it has given me nothing but more hate and frustration
Im still trying to learn to stand up on my own two feet
But its so hard when even the victories feel like defeats
Sometimes I look at my life and I hate it
Then each time I realize the pain I was feeling was just overated
But even with the feelings of joy, theres always a void
and this emptiness always grows, and eventually the good feeling gets destroyed
The one thing I learned from goin through these extremes
Is that everything I go through is never as bad or good as it seems
Maybe these insecurities run down to my very core
And I can continue to try, but they cant be ignored
Or am I just going through a phase
Something I have to go through to prepare me for better days
