I’ve Learned To Live With The Pain

I’ve learned to live with the pain
I’ve learned to make it seem normal
Though I feel broken inside
I’m able to act quite informal

I’ve learned to think like the rain
To fall and make it seem normal
And though the ground may be drenched
I’m able to seem quite informal

I’ve learned to see like the sun
I’ve learned to see it all normal
To illuminate the good and bad
I’m able to be quite informal

I’ve learned to shine like the moon
I’m able to shine quite normal
When the homeless child is bathed in its light
I’m able to be quite informal

I’ve learned to hold back the stars
The starlights that seem quite normal
When people are violent in war
I’m able to be quite informal

I’ve learned to be silent like space
In the silence you think quite informal
But I loathe the suffering I see
And the selfishness they all think is normal

I am interested in multimedia work: songwriting, art, and creative writing. I have been involved also in theatre and music performances. View all posts by blackbird212012
