Pain

Though you live your life the best you can

You do your best to be a man

For some that just isn't enough

You hide behind a dozen masks

When living itself seems an impossible task

That is the pain of being alone

'Tis a sorrow I know oh so well

It is the moral of this story I try to tell

For all you want is to be yourself.

It will never be enough.

For their tastes you can't satisfy

They tell you to jump you ask how high

It will never be enough.

The pain of loneliness is hard to bear

And a kindred soul is o so rare

But for this alone you must seek

Giving up is for the weak

Look for love look for hope

With these 2 things all can cope.

With whatever the world can offer

Just be yourself!!!

In a world like this you can go through life

Hiding away from all your strife

But it is this you must learn to face

Otherwise life will pass you by at a frightening pace.

Be yourself! Hold your head high

And when it comes to when you wonder why

Just know that you have lived.

When your time is up 

Have no regrets

You took your chances 

you placed your bets

And you got your money's worth.

Don't spend your life saying what if?

Just go through life and try to live

Don't be any ones puppet

So with these last words I will conclude

Live your life by your rules alone.

Don't rely on others, act on your own

Don't change yourself for others or put 

On some elaborate mask.

Just be yourself and don't live in the past.
