Together as one, As one separated

Together as one---as one: separated
By: Jason Knavel

I’ve really had it with the Pain and the tears,
The inevitable mess, which keeps coming this year
There is conflict up top, and there’s pain deep inside,
I’m longing, I’m asking, I’m hoping, I’m trying to hide.
And I long to be free, so I scream and I shout,
And I’m trying, to run- trying to figure this out,
Then I fall to my knees, and I’m starting to cry,
I look up to my god, and I simply ask “Why?”
Why, do I hear people say, that this is just the way that life goes?
I refuse to believe that, because nobody knows:
All the sorrow I’ve seen, all the anguish and strife
All the suffering that comes so very freely with life
And there is so much evil in this world, in this world that is so….
Fixated with greed, power, and pride we all know-
But its going to get better- this we can swear!
And we all must step up, and actually try…if we dare,
For all good things and bad, lie deep in the Heart
And if we just take the chance, we can split them apart,
Then elation we’ll find, find it before it’s too late,
To try and get out of this oh depressive state-
I’ve tried things alone…But with you all by my side.
We can make it through life, and we won’t have to hide.
Because I trust you my friend, it is you that I love,
And help from you guys is like help from above.
And we’ve really had it with the Pain and the tears,
The inevitable mess, which keeps coming this year
There is conflict up top, and there’s pain deep inside,
We’re longing, we’re asking, we’re hoping, and we’re trying…..To Try.
