How can I see
For I have been blinded
How can I feel
For I have been hurt
How can I lose
When all has been taken
How can I live
When nothing is worth

The pain that it takes
To keep going on
The will I must find
To stay in the sun
The peace
Not the anger
That must conquer me
To live with myself
An impossibility

I now can see
All of my cutting words
I now can feel
The shame and disgrace
I still can lose
The ones that I love the most
I must now live
To save my own grace

I was taking a close look at myself, and was amazed by the mean, spiteful person I saw. I couldn't believe that it was me.
