It's just too big to smoulder there, it feels I'll never win It always seems I cry so much, and never will it end No matter how much pours from me, it's more than I intend No one can understand my thoughts, no one can feel my pain Because that pain belongs to me, and here it comes again My body, oh, my body, how it aches to every nerve My joints have seized, my cheeks are wet, tears run off every curve My feet are standing in a pool of copious salty water I've got to stop this crying, yes I do, I really oughta So part of me is saying "Hey! you gotta let it out" Another part is staying "Stop those tears, and don't you pout!" So what to do? To cry or not? A see-saw of despair I take a breath, I let it out, proceed to pull out hair This anguish, can I let it go, can I leave it behind? Can I just take a little step, attempt to free my mind? This pain, it feels uncomfortable, I'll choose to let it go It's so destructive to myself, I do not need this woe I take that pain, I roll it up, create a painful ball I throw that ball with all my might, it smashes on a wall It bounces back, it hits me and it really knocks me flat That self-created ball of pain that wants me in combat So fight? I want to fight, I want my soul to self-destruct? Well, that's an easy way to go, "Destroy!" I now instruct Now motionless, now limp and lying crumpled on the floor I feel no pain, I feel no sense of purpose, to the core And in my silent pondering, I know it's not the way So I'll rise up and surge ahead, perhaps another day.
