Fighting Through Life
losing patience with life,
can't handle things that are not working,
feeling frustrated every step of the way,
how do you deal?
when stuff not going your way?
i would say life just $uck$,
but that would be too easy,
life is hard,
i'm tiried of fighting through it,
it's a uphill battle,
that i seem to be losing,
don't know why?
maybe because along the way,
i gave up a fight,
i want nothing to do with,
would you agree?
life is never what it seems,
i guess only in dreams,
but fighting for what you want,
is just not that easy,
everybody strive for that peace in life,
when would the hell would i get mine! !

Since When Have My Life Became Complicated?
when did my life become complicated?
i remember the good old days,
where everything was perfect,
now that it changed,
i don't know what to do,
first it started with losing my mom,
later it became learning,
life is never easy,
when it comes to accepting,
all of yourself,
everything you believe would change,
just became a reality,
that this is your life you was dealt,
the best thing you can do,
is live it the best you can,
life only becomes complicated,
when you give up the power,
to continue and fight through life.

War In you
Everywhere you go theres a war near you,
Ehough you can't see it,
It's happening inside you,
No one can stop it,
Only you can when you decides to take that step in life,
This is my war not yours,
My day my life is over,
Fighting everyday losing myself in it,
My war may never end,
But yours may,
It's a fight to the death,
You or them your life you war,
Here I am to say dont let your war control you,
If you do life as you know it,
May be over for you.

Art of losing
Maybe a shock, maybe hard in the beginning
Maybe too soon, maybe numb in the feeling
Losing is losing
Always brings an amount of grief
Even the rich, even the expert
Whether once, whether often
Losing is losing
And deal with it
Whether precious, whether replaceable
Whether unconscious choice, whether paying the price
Losing is losing
But don't be carried with guilt
Whether mysteriously disappeared, whether deeply investigated
Whether destroying your life, whether ruining your happiness
Losing is losing
So start to forgive yourself

Black Cloud
i sit and i cry,
just asking god why,
why put me through hurt and pain?
will it ever makes sense?
i'm sick of asking why,
but, it seem to be,
all that i do,
when life get hard,
easy way out feels so right,
but, it not what god wants,
it seem to only be what i want,
only because of what i have to go through,
to take more responsibility then most,
being more mature than some adults,
just because they can't handle their half of the deal,
all i want is for life to be,
everything i want it to be,
but, instead i'm left here,
with a black cloud,
that seem to follow me everywhere.

If You Only Knew
do you want to help?
or to see if you were right?
either way can you handle it?
because i can't and yet,
holding it in, is what i do best,
nobody can relate,
to what i go through,
if you only knew,
you too would know,
why suicide seems like a good plan,
it was the only way to get rid,
of this hell people call life,
after seeing the light,
i came and realize,
there more to life,
but, too much to carry at times,
i guess that when you take it,
one step at a time.

Thats For Sure
Think of the times you have sat by yourself
And wondered
Just what it was that compelled you to be
What you are
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
Thats how you came and for sure thats how you go out.
High on a hill you can feel the breeze
And rest easy
All things that live have a right to exist
And be free.
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
Thats how you came and for sure thats how youll go out
Thats for sure, thats how you go out
Thats for sure, thats how you go out
Thats for sure, thats how you go out
Thats for sure, thats how you go out.
Is there a chance you have taken these steps
So not losing
Losing all that you have, dont you know what you have is not
Real
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
Thats how you came and for sure thats how you go out
Yeah thats for sure
Thats how you go out
Thats how you go out
Thats how you go out
Thats how you go out.

I Can't Take This
why are you yelling at me?
do you care?
that i'm just thinking of taking pills,
why bother with this life?
it not getting better,
i have no idea where i be in ten years,
call me crazy,
but this stuff is just too much,
trade places,
go through life being me,
i can't take it,
i have all of this stuff,
but, yet can't fix what i want,
why should i get help?
life is always going to be unfair,
why put up with it?
there no happy ending,
this not a fairy tale,
when are people going to wake up?
i can't deal with this,
i just want to put my life to an end,
people may care,
but, am i just being selfish?
wanting to take life,
because this here,
i call it HELL!

Reasons
what can i say?
i'm not perfect so don't expect it from me,
what you see is what you get,
nothing is hidden,
everything came out,
what more do you want?
my thoughts were hidden for a reason,
people seem to treat you differently,
because of the things they know,
why do things have to change?
i wasn't perfect before this,
yeah things turned for the worse,
i know people only care for my safety,
i'm not going to say if you only knew,
that would be to easy,
i know everybody has problems in life,
i was just giving up on mine,
giving up the fight i didn't want anything to do with,
too much to handle,
tiried of crying,
sick of this freakin pain i feel from time to time,
life never going to be perfect,
but, times like these,
i just wish it can be.

Just Life
Life is unfair
Life is unjust
Life is nieve
Life is cruel in everyway
Life is hard it cant be easy.
Life can be good
Life can be fun
Life can be exciting
Life can be everything.
Life can be hard it cant be easy.

Lifes Real
*There are so many things in life you face
There are many things in life that brings you down
But, life’s short, sometimes you have to keep going and just smile
Try not staying down to long
Try to put it aside and move on
You can’t live your life stressing on how to deal with things
Life’s much more than that
Sometimes it’s thinking things through
And deal with the important things first
And worry about the other things later
I know you battle with you brain
And your thoughts you chase
I know dealing with feelings and stress is one big debate
*Life’s has a lot of hard work
Life has a lot of headaches
Life has a lot of drama
But believe it or not stressing not the way to deal with things
Life has a way to put you down
And makes you feel you’re beneath it
But, you have to put yourself on top
*Life may play tricks on your mind
That you start to go crazy
Or just plain out of your mind
But believe it or not
There’s always a way to shine
*Life’s real, that I understand
Life’s real, Life you have to EXCEPT
Life you can’t STRESS
Life you have to live at your BEST
Life also you must live to the FULLEST

A Gift From God
if i had to say how i feel,
i can't really say,
you were my mother,
a gift from god,
that i couldn't keep,
not a day go by,
that i wish you were by my side,
days are getting harder,
living a life without you is rough,
i would give anything to have you back,
there are times i think how i can be with you,
but, than i miss people here,
things push me to end my life,
but, i hang on,
because along the way,
there have to be something better,
i had dreams of becoming something,
i had your support before you left,
which makes the easy way out,
seem not as easy as i though,
because of you,
i can be the person i was ment to be,
you still believing in me,
like you always have,
now it up to me to believe i can,
it's my life,
without you,
i wouldn't of been this strong,
i got a gift for you,
i love you, and there's always
a place in my heart for you.

Losing things.
I`ve been losing things,
All my life.
Cameras, people, towels, phones
Lovers, friends.
I am always anxious
For the postman to call.
Losing things.
Waiting for a mirror to fall.
Too suspicious to walk
Under the ladder of it all.
Losing things.
Yet can`t grasp it all.
Losing things.
Objects, losing things.
I`ve been losing touch.
Finding so much
In everything.
Losing things.

A Brave One
He has not had an easy life of late
He has battled his demons of despair
Just one of those who has known hard times
And his type of person not rare.
And yet he hangs in there and keeps on battling
And not all hope of success from him gone
A brave one he is not a quitter
And he will keep on keeping on.
He is one with a sense of humour
Though financialy embarrassed he doesn't find it hard to smile
He says life is a hard old battle
But the battle is worthwhile.
He has not known an easy time of late
But to despair he will not give in
He finds life such a very hard battle
A battle he is determined to win.

Carry On
It's easy to fight when everything's right,
And you're mad with the thrill and the glory;
It's easy to cheer when victory's near,
And wallow in fields that are gory.
It's a different song when everything's wrong,
When you're feeling infernally mortal;
When it's ten against one, and hope there is none,
Buck up, little soldier, and chortle:
Carry on! Carry on!
There isn't much punch in your blow.
You're glaring and staring and hitting out blind;
You're muddy and bloody, but never you mind.
Carry on! Carry on!
You haven't the ghost of a show.
It's looking like death, but while you've a breath,
Carry on, my son! Carry on!
And so in the strife of the battle of life
It's easy to fight when you're winning;
It's easy to slave, and starve and be brave,
When the dawn of success is beginning.
But the man who can meet despair and defeat
With a cheer, there's the man of God's choosing;
The man who can fight to Heaven's own height
Is the man who can fight when he's losing.
Carry on! Carry on!
Things never were looming so black.
But show that you haven't a cowardly streak,
And though you're unlucky you never are weak.
Carry on! Carry on!
Brace up for another attack.
It's looking like hell, but -- you never can tell:
Carry on, old man! Carry on!
There are some who drift out in the deserts of doubt,
And some who in brutishness wallow;
There are others, I know, who in piety go
Because of a Heaven to follow.
But to labour with zest, and to give of your best,
For the sweetness and joy of the giving;
To help folks along with a hand and a song;
Why, there's the real sunshine of living.
Carry on! Carry on!
Fight the good fight and true;
Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer;
There's big work to do, and that's why you are here.
Carry on! Carry on!
Let the world be the better for you;
And at last when you die, let this be your cry:
Carry on, my soul! Carry on!

Going Insane
lost in my head,
trying to make sense,
everything i say,
is spoke from the mind,
where is my heart?
where is the love?
world filled with hate?
will anybody ever relate?
what i hide deep inside,
is not the same that i show
on the outside,
there's a girl that confuse,
because of the life she given,
who would understand?
it a struggle in two directions,
to do things that make her happy,
or just the things that will make
other people happy,
i'm tired of fighting,
and tired of losing,
what i might be able to have,
rather than everything i can't,
will life ever be fair?
or will that happen
when people start to care?

What A Life
(graham russell)
Love comes to everyone
Some are weak, some strong
I'm not strong today
They've took her back
Brought the curtain down
What can i do now
I'm afraid
I'm afraid to think about it
(chorus)
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
I've been in love
Been left standing
Till i say is that what i want
Oh no there's got to be another smile on my face
I don't care about the money i make
Or what it can do
I'm alive and that's what's important to me
I don't need someone to tell me you'll get along
Who to please, who to watch over me
(chorus)
(repeat)
There's an old man
Been calling me for a long time
Never able to get his face off my mind
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life
(chorus 2x)
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life
(chorus 2x)

This Life Can Be A Battle
This life can be a battle most live from day to day
And for billions of people 'tis uphill all of the way
Yet the longer that we do live the sooner we will die
And in life not everyone is equal unless you believe the lie
That everyone is born equal though with that I can't agree
That does seem patronizing talk or so 'twould seem to me
So many living in poverty and of hope in despair
Believe me 'tis a rat race in the bigger World out there
This life can be a battle for the billions in poverty
You cannot tell these people about equality
Since they would not listen to you in life they struggle on
And any hope of happiness from them seems to be gone
This life can be a battle life's uphill road is steep
And many homeless people without a bed on which to sleep.

Until You Completely Understand What I'm Going Through, Don't Tell Me My Life Is Not Stressful
how can you look at my life,
and just judge it,
yes i do have stuff going on in my life,
it not as transparent,
but it's there,
i'm reminded by the nightmare,
by the body flashbacks,
don't tell me i don't have much,
i battle them everyday,
but when i do,
it behind close doors,
i guess i hide my problems well,
if you can't tell what it is,
i'm really going through,
i guess im doing a dang good job,
dealing with it and handling it,
if you just don't know,
at times i don't have a choice,
i have to push my feelings aside,
just to deal with what going on,
and when i get back to them,
they coming back harder,
and alot more crazier,
i can't always change what i want,
even though i have to deal,
don't tell me,
that my stresses are nothing,
compared to yours,
let me see you walk a mile,
in my shoes and you tell me,
how it feels to deal with baggage,
that is not so easy,
to just toss to the side,
it's a never ending battle,
that seems to only get harder,
the more i begin to heal,
but healing is the only way,
i can be at peace,
it won't be the end of it,
it just means,
all of what was done to me,
all this hurt and anger,
that i feel,
will stop being so strong,
yeah, i'm waiting for that day,
but i'm still manage to push through,
even if it means i'm crawling,
past the finish line.

Life is a hell
Life is a hell that cannot be fixed. You can't change a person, you can only fix your own life.
People will always be there to destroy you and tear up the pride that you have in yourself. What happens if they succeed?
You will fall. You will fall so hard that you can't get back up. Jesus Christ is the only way. Without him you will be
fighting a losing battle. Your spirit will die and the word faith will no longer exist in your heart. Your tears will be ignored by many.
God will be watching from the heavens saying, 'Why my child, have you turned away from me? Come back and I will welcome you with
open arms. You know that I love everything about you and I will remain waiting for you, but please hurry before the end of time.'

I'm fighting a losing battle
Of one Im not to win.

I may as well give in
And accept my fate
Now suicide shall take me
