Sometimes the pain is overwhelming,

I just sit and think about the life that's past,

All the times I've wasted and people I've let down,

Wishing for a family that I know I'll never have.

 

And I listen to the people outside my window,

The kids who laugh and play without a care,

It reminds me of the childhood that never happened,

My friends that said they would back me up, but were never there.

 

I think about the men that I fell in love with,

And all that the boys that I would have died for,

Treated me like dirt and made me feel worthless,

And when I needed them, they shut the door.

 

Sometimes the sadness seems to surround me,

The feelings that I hold inside,

I never told anyone how I feel,

Except my best friend, but then he died.

 

And sometimes the pain is just so overwhelming,

It tears me apart inside,

But then I think of my daughter,

And I just thank God I'm alive
