Best from the Worst

A flower blossoms from the richest yet dirtiest of soil.

Breathe a little today

Smile a little tomorrow

Don't ever think about yesterday

The pain, the hurt, the sorrow

But I must feel the pain

For goodness' sake, I want to punch a wall

Feel the pain and how it hurts so much

I'm tired of standing up so tall

I just want to run to the corner

Sulk over there as long as possible

Never think about anyone looking

Never knowing anyone would care

Never letting anyone understand

Letting people pretend I'm not really there

Nobody understands

Nobody but me, myself and I

Creating my own sadness for leisure

I know you would just shake your head and sigh

But I know this is the path I chose

To look away and to go on my own

To depress myself into insanity

To bring the worst yet the best out of me

A trashy night's worth of understatements.
