Finding ComfortA Poem by Barry SheltonVerse 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 © 2013 Barry SheltonAuthor's Note
