EMOTIONS OF PLENTY

A GENTLE BREEZE
A MOON LITE SKY
EMOTIONS OF SADNESS
AS WE ASK OURSELVES WHY

THAT FEELING OF COLD
A MOTIONLESS STARE
TELLING OURSELVES
THAT IT JUST ISN'T FARE

WITH SHAME ON THE MIND
AND HATE AT OUR CORE
SCREAMING THE WORDS
I CAN'T DO THIS NO MORE

THE SCARS THAT WE BARE
CONSUME WHO WE ARE
FADING THE LIGHT
OF A BEAUTIFUL STAR

BURNING WITH HURT
WITH LIFE IN A WRECK
DESTROYING WHAT'S REAL
ON THIS JOURNEY WE TREK

FUELING THE PAIN
WITH DECISIONS WE MAKE
MAYBE THE REASON
FOR THE LAST BREATHE WE TAKE

A CHOICE NOT SO EASY
A CLOUD EVERY DAY
THE BURDEN THAT IS
CHOOSING TO STAY

WE ARE OUR OWN TEACHER
AND WE CHOOSE WHEN TOO BREAK
HATING THE WORLD
AND EVERY MISTAKE

THINGS WE CAN'T CHANGE
IN A PAST LEFT BEHIND
JUST MEMORIES WE CARRY
DESTROYING THE MIND

CRESTING THE EDGE
JUST WAITING TO SLIP
DOUBTING THE STRENGTH
YOU WILL NEED TO GRIP

THE FEAR IS REAL
OF JUST LETTING GO
WHAT LAY BEYOND
ONE WAY TOO KNOW

BUT WAIT JUST A SECOND
IS IT REALLY THAT BAD
YEAH YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART
THAT YOU ARE SAD

TO CRUMBLE THE WORLDS
OF THOSE THAT YOU LOVE
INSTEAD OF STICKING IT OUT
AND RISING ABOVE.
