Hurt

     Let me start by saying Baruch Hashem I no longer feel this way. Even so, I felt the need to still go ahead and post this due to the fact that people need to empathize with others that are going through things like this, and the only way to truly empathize is to really try and step into their shoes. Not based on facts of their lives, but emotions they feel. We need to tune in to others, to be sensitive, even though we may think they're wrapped up in their pain, which may be true, we can try and start unwrapping the tight blanket of misery, and the first step is to understand. With that in mind, may we all never have to endure the pain of no one knowing you are hurting, and may we all reach out to those who are hurting and lend them some band-aids. Through this, we become family, through this we become a nation, one, united to serve Hashem.

I’m hurting

I’m hurting

and there’s nothing else to do but sing a song,
 a lonely song about how

I’m hurting

Can’t you see behind these blank brown eyes

The puddles of tears held back by a dam called pride

Don’t you know, don’t you know, the anger I let show

Is a cover up for my super sensitive soul

I’m hurting 

I’m hurting

I’m hurting, I’m bleedin from the inside

I’m hurting, and it feels better when I hide

But it still hurts

'Cuz I’m hiding my true feelings 

But  when I let them show some people don’t believe me

And it feels like I’m goin round in circles

Running from the same old hell for way too long

But all this time, I keep on trying, keep on standing strong

On the outside but inside me is still torn

Can’t you hear the soft cry of my soul

 Begging silently for a better tomorrow 

Don’t you know, don’t you know  what it feels like

To hurt so bad inside for the millionth time

I've been waiting for the clouds to part

The sun to shine its warmth down on me

And I never tire of gazing at the stars

But  all these thoughts and all this pain

It keeps on hurting again and again

And the clouds they keep together

And the sun hides from my face

And the stars they sadly wink at me from far

I’m hurting

I’m hurting

and there’s nothing else to do but sing a song, a lonely song about how

I’m hurting
