Love. Cry. Repeat.

"It’s hard to see the good,
When the bad gets in the way,
How can I see,
Beyond the hell of every day.

It’s hard to see the light,
When the darkness seems to loom,
How can I see,
Beyond the evil and the doom.

It’s hard to see the calm,
When the fear has taken hold,
How can I see,
Beyond the violence, cruel and cold.

It’s hard to see the hope,
When the failure is so stark,
How can I see,
Beyond the pain that leaves its mark… "
