Beyond the World of Sadness

There is a world beyond the world of stress and despair.

I know, I've seen it

I've actually been there

but when your immersed in the darkness

that is everyday life

with its villains, and its crime

and your heart aches

all the time

things can seem darker than they really are

to be strong

you keep your sadness hidden

so people see you smile

they have no idea

that you’re hurting all the while

Then one day

It all gets to be too much
its nobody’s fault

And you don’t want anyone to feel bad

But it’s just too much

You decide to go home before your time

tears are shed

people ask why

but the thing is

you were just tired of hurting

and it’s ok

because even though

you’ll be missed every day

time will pass

before long

you’ll see your family and friends

in the world beyond the sadness
