Justification
Sometimes I feel like
The world is just too much
That my soul is cracking
Beneath this burning sun
That all of my endeavors
Have fallen short this day
That I have found my path
And finally lost my way
It’s hard to keep on going
When I don’t know how to walk
It’s hard to find the strength
To shine when I am dark
When reality is relative
And I cannot compose
The ghosts of my undoing
Or the past that they forebode
This may be just self pity
Then again it could be truth
But despite of my own loathing
It will never contradict
All the facts which I can muster
Nor the reasons in its stead
Put together with my loneliness
Lie before me now all dead
Yet in all this indignation
A faint murmur still remains
A trace of hope that I gather
And hold on to in times like these
That in fact I have survived
Toil and troubles worse than these
And though now I may be down
I will stand up off my knees
