Before

by Thom Burkhart - Cancer

The hurt won't stop
How long does it last
I can't help but think about the past

In the past I was so happy 
I was so free
I was the real me

Now I am full of hurt
Full of hate
And out of tears

I didn't know how good I had it 
Until my world was flipped upside down 
And turned inside out

Before I had no worries
And everything was in control

I stare off into the sky
A numbnees flows throughout my body
That turns me bitter and cold

How do I rectify what has happeded
How do I make myself feel better
How do I get the hurt to stop
