The Turn Around

Contributed by ToriVeigh on Thursday, 13th November 2003 @ 10:43:33 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

My heart is full of sadness
Or maybe its dread I feel
I sense Im drowning in darkness
For my fate it does seal

How can I go from bad to good?
From hour to hour I change
My emotions cant be understood
For they never stay the same

Often I feel Im over stressed
Like Im about to burst
Of course, then I get depressed
Oh for peace, how I thirst

When you have no control
Over the circumstance youre in
How can you expect to keep your soul
Free from the darkness and sin?

Maybe you should take a step back
So the view you can better see
Hopefully, you can find the right track
Or at least a lighted street

When you dont like the circumstance
And all you do is *****
Its time to decide to take a chance
Your old ways, its time to ditch

My advice seems simple enough
When it applies to you and not me
Its not that Im made of different stuff
I just dont know how to be free

Help for you, Im happy to give
But for me I dont know how
All I really want is to live
Through lifes obstacles, I want to plow

Why cant it be as easy as it sounds?
But where would be the challenge in that?
If all the easy paths were found
What would we do but sit and chat?

We would always be bored to tears
And lose interest in everything
Hopeless wed be, I fear
And wed never have reason to sing

All of our motivations in life
Our goals we wish to obtain
Even when you engage hordes of strife
Make existence worth the pain

If you can turn things around
See from a different point of view
Many people you may astound
When your hearts no longer torn in two
