Times In Life

There are times in life
When hurts come creeping
Always seeking
A chink in your armor
When you should be calmer,
But you're not,
You're not.


There are times that repeat
Harsh words that are wounding,
As if they need tuning
To your perfect pitch
Instead of which
They're not,
Oh no, they're not.

Times when your feelings
Take you by surprise,
There behind your eyes
The knife has turned,
Once more you're burned
And for what,
For what.

How is it that we learn
So many things that we're needing
And never see life leading us
Into pain,
Maybe out again,
Maybe not,
Maybe not.

There may be no answer
If we're to live eyes wide,
Go on bravely and never hide,
But will it all stop
As the very last drop of your love
Drifts away
Will there come a day,
Or will there not.
Will there not.

How long must it be,
Before we'll see.

Your heart may get battered
With things that so mattered
And yet there's a truth
You don't know in your youth,
That it's all just a journey,
A hard way of learning
Who's real and who's not.

Who's real and who's not:
The truth is all we've really got.
All we've got.
