I scream to the heavens is it never all right
can we never just dance and play
does every thing have to be earned in this life
can't happiness just come our way
and the heavens respond in their own special way
no is the answer they give

and i know why, i do

love is a pleasure not every one knows
though we all yearn for love in our lives
some people squander the chances they have
some make them up just to try
some love so hard it devours them whole
some run away before the chance can grow old
yet everyone wants their heart in that hold
whether briefly or all of their life

yet the truth universal is that love cannot be forced
pretending cannot make it real
wishing can not make it appear
running does not stop the hurt

and despite all the love you may hold in your heart
still your fate is not ensured
a million plus things could tear you apart
joy is not guaranteed in this world

satisfaction in knowing we've done all we could
is a comfort we can give ourselves
working each day on something upright and good
brings on happiness in it's own way



(i don't think it's finished yet, but i needed to get it down)
