Life

Adalyn Bodily 2012 (Washington)



Life, Life with so much strife,
You wonder if you'll make it,
Or if you even have one,
But it's already taken,
Days are good but some are bad,
Some are full of temptation.

Trials, Trials so much denials,
You never know whats ahead.
you don't know right from wrong,
You need help to get through them,
And thats for sure,
but, you will not be alone.
I feel as if my life is no more,

As if I won't live a second more,

As if there's no purpose

No song to sing,

There's nothing, nothing left for me.

I feel as if I no longer could walk,

As if I no longer could talk,

As if I no longer could stand

No one to lend a hand,

There's nothing, nothing left for me.

I feel as if no one understands,

As if I'm left alone to stand,

As if no one cares

No love no joy,

There's nothing, nothing left or me.

I stand alone in the streets,

Then I see him creator of all,

Something wells up inside me

There's love there's joy,

There's Something, something left for me!
