Welcome To Life

More Of The Same

Welcome to Life, it's more of the same

My thoughts are running circles around me again

To think that I had ever known pain

You dulled every sense but sharpened the blade

Stuck it in deep and poked at my shame

Took the spotlight and made it my fame

Until everyone is screaming that I am to blame

So I ask, how did this come to be?

We shared the same bed but had different dreams

Words can be painted but it's not what it seems

Exploding with colors but it's all grey to me

Poured in my feelings for one hell of a mixture

And promised a portrait but provided a picture

Your actions left my soul heavy and bruised

Leaving my spirit all black and blue

Now my mind is starting to feel sick again

I hate that they knew how it would end

Wicked thoughts have sweet intentions

Is like the devil being grated divine interventions

You don't stir the pot to create calm water

I'm caught in a rip tide, I've never drifted farther

No I've never prayed harder

To an idea that I could never believe

That this pain could be created with so much ease

So I hate that I beg, I beg and I plead

It's more of the same, this just isn't right

Broken and shattered from undeniable height

But we're forced to move on, Welcome to life

It's more of the same....

About the Creator

Michael Benhayoun

Writing became an outlet for me; My childhood wasn't easy, as I'm sure some can relate. At 8 I was adopted by my Great Aunt and Uncle who became my second set of parents. I was encouraged to write and now, it's how I say what can be said!
