Pain of Life

Keep your voice way down low,
Hide the feelings you don't dare show,
Tell only the one's you trust,
Tell no one if you must.
If people tease you won't just sigh,
If word spreads you'll break down and cry,
You'll never want to be seen again,
Oh, just a young girl no longer ten.
You'll color your life with fantasies and dreams,
You'll be brave and hold in your screams,
You'll watch all hope fade away,
You'll cry alone day by day.
You'll pay no attention to words from the kind,
There's things in this world you just can't find,
Love is one and joy is another,
Never bright but dismaying color.
You can live the sorrow,
Who knows what could come tomorrow,
Pain that's gone and happy that's back,
It's a relief and sorrow will pack.
