The Reality

People say change is good
But it's not what it seems
Because lately these days
All I have are dreams
Dreams of how it used to be
And how I still wish it was
Dreams of me too moving on
And not standing in everyones cloud of dust
I'm drowning in a deep pool of sorrow
All the tears I choke back even the words I swallow
I'm dying on the inside
Crying on the out
But still each day I fake a smile as I make my way about
It seems like everyone's destined for happiness
Everyone but me that is
So I guess what I'm looking for is a new way to live
If there's anyone with advice to this
Don't hesitate, please do give
I'm not perfect this I know
But I'm still too young to be feeling so
So confined in a world I'm forced to call life
Where happiness is a dream and sorrow cuts like a knife
Oh no I won't pout
Because people will hurt you
That's what life's all about
But my body is drained and lifeless
Like crops caught in a drought
I'm begging for rain to come soothe my pain
Even thought my calls all seem to be in vain
No I'm not searching for someone to blame
Or even trying to be the victim in this game
But the fact of the matter is life is like one big game
And the sun is somewhere shining even when it rains
