Can We Break Free from This Pain?

One more step at a time,

we try to find our way.

Our hearts are heavy,

and our minds are foggy.

We can't seem to shake this feeling,

this pain that's been with us for so long.

But we have to keep trying,

keep moving forward.

The future is waiting for us,

and we can't let this pain keep us from it.

Can we break free from this pain,

this never-ending cycle of hurt?

We try to move on, but we just can't,

we're stuck in the past, tearing us apart.

It seems like we're always at war,

fighting against ourselves and each other,

but can't we just let go of the anger?

Can't we find a way to be happy?

It's not going to be easy,

but I think it's worth a try,

so let's break free from this pain,

and see what the future holds for us.

Can we break free from this pain?

All we do is suffer and moan.

It seems like our fate is to remain

In this dark abyss where we've been thrown.

But maybe, we can find a way

To leave all this behind and be free.

We've always had the power to change our fate

And finally, break out of this misery.
