This Kind of Sad

This kind of sad doesn’t often go away
This kind of sad always seems to stay
To linger within us, burning like eternal fire
Eat away at us from the inside, all the way down to the wire
Till we have nothing left to talk about, no file left to pull
To find out what hurts, why the glass never seems half full
And we always seem half empty, as if something will always be missing
Cursing at the sky because the pain in your head is never ceasing
Wash your hands a million times, but they will never be clean
There will always be lines, mapping out when you fail and when you succeed
Some moments will always hurt, but it is a beauty in life we must remember
We fall, we get back up, if you get pushed to your limit, never surrender
Raise your dreams up higher and higher so that when you finally reach them
The path to finding yourself will have been long and without sweet requiem
This kind of sad often doesn’t just go away
But I will not let it define me, or how I live my days
Because the truth is we have little time to turn it around
So feel thankful to have the ability to lift yourself from the ground..
