That's not the Way it Works

I tell you flat out
It hurts too much to think of this
So from my everything I exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything
How I'm painful and powerless,
to create who I truly am.

I've ran away
From all this and so much more
And I just plead and pray
Please let my problems go away if they're ignored
But life doesn't work like that
No it doesn't work like that.

When I hit the ground
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And do nothing but disregard
When I break down
It hurts to hit the bottom of myself
And to think I might not have fallen
If I had seen my problems and faught them.

And I just pray,
that my problems will go away
if they're ignored,


But that's not the way it works. That's not the way life works.

Don't we all just wish our problems would go away? Urgh....I do. Just hang in there. Things will get better in time.

Great poem Beebes. I really like your stuff, though I don't comment a lot.

And I just pray,
that my problems will go away
if they're ignored,


I find I ignore the problems I should be paying attention to and pay far too much heed to the problems that I should be ignoring.

Sad but true, Beebes. All our problems must be dealt with, for when ignored they fester into something worse and even harder to solve.

Some things are just best said in songs.

You have a number to call, even at three in the morning. I'm praying for you, Alex.

Yea, they are. I could use a lot of songs right now to display my thoughts.
