A Wish

** Credit given to Maggie Bedrin for last two verses **

Death is a wish.

Death ends pain.

With death,

New pain begins.

Pain is a wish.

Pain never ends.

Where one pain ends,

Another begins.

When life is hard,

Pain begins.

Pain brings fear.

Fear of failure.

The failure,

To make a difference.

To make a difference,

Make a difference

In the lives of others.

It's not impossible.

Life gets hard.

Smile through.

Nothing's impossible.

Just be you.

If they don't like you,

They don't deserve you.

When they deserve you,

It will show.

When they don't,

You will know.

Blood is not the answer,

The answer lies within,

I will help you,

You must not give in.

You cannot run forever,

Nor can you hide,

We can heal the cracks,

If you let me inside.
