No one else feels this hurting pain

That pummels at me from within

No one else knows the sheer despair

Of getting stuck alone again

No one else hears the cries for help

So silent in this agony

No one else sees the deep regret

That this again is destiny

But I can feel the ray of hope

That warms me through the waves of pain

But I can know that I will rise

When I get through the storm again

But I can hear the bells of love

Chime faintly through the din of hate

But I can see that just one day

Does not determine my life’s fate

I can’t avoid the storms of life

Or dodge the rain from every cloud

But in it, if I listen, still

Hope will rise and sing aloud

I see you walking off into the sunset

And I’m standing here alone

I see webs woven around you

While I sit apart on a stone

I see your ships all coming in

But mine is lost at sea

I see your doors open and close behind you

While I can’t even find my key

I know the facts are what is real

And don’t always match how I feel

I know how tempting things can look

The flashy cover on a book

I know that trust means stepping back

And praying I’m on the right track

I know there is a master plan

And I just take each step I can
