Finding Comfort

Finding Comfort

A Poem by Barry Shelton

Verse 1:

Well I can't decide if the glass is more empty or full

If you want want the truth of the matter

to say it's only one or the other only makes you a fool

I balance all my struggles

and they weigh down on my heart

well I try to balance my struggles

and more often than not it all seems to fall apart

But do not think I am complaining

because that is not the case

I am just embracing this as the truth

staring both life and death in the face

 

Chorus:

I refuse to live in fear

all it will do is blind you

Some say the end is near

and I just wanna remind you

that everything is temporary

none of us are making it out alive

so just do what you can and savor every moment

Now take a deep breath and count to five

 

 

 

Verse 2:

I am my father's son, and I even share his name

We even share the same blood

but definitely not the same brain nor the same pain.

And I have seen friends, family, and lovers alike

come into my life then walk away

But I know that with every one that leaves

there is another that will stay.

You are imperfect

yeah this is true

You are all imperfect

but that is okay, I am too

 

Bridge:

I am holding onto nothing

and I am clinging onto no one

and that's alright with me

yeah its okay

I've been drowning in insecurites for so long

but now I'm gasping for air

I don't know much, and I am far from brilliant

but I know one thing for sure and it is that

I would rather die

than finding comfort in a lie

I would rather be dead

than living a lie instead
