MISERY

I once met this lady
Misery was her name
She told me things I never realized
Told me things I knew would never be explained

She told me of love
Of honesty and hope
And how things get so hard,
it feels like your life's in a steep, downward slope

I told of this boy
And the love I have for him
Told her how I wish he'd feel the same way
But he's just to hard to win

I told her nothing's the same
And how I just want to give up and die
Told her how when you left me
I just ran home and cried

She told me not to be ashamed
To hold my head high and stay strong
Misery is someone you don't want to be
Even if everything seems so wrong

She told me full-heartedly and in a caring way
Suicide wasn't the answer I was looking for
And as I realized what she was saying
I begged her to tell me more

She told me slowly,
"Even though life is tough,
These feelings are all just an inevitablepart of it
And they're going to make you feel like you've had enough"

I told her I understood what she was saying
Told her I knew there was a reason for this
A reason for me being alone
A reason for me to miss

I told her that I feel so lost and confused
Confused that with so many people around me
I still feel alone and empty
With just a wonder of how things were meant to be

She told me something I never heard before--
"With so many bad things happening to you
They're going to make you forget
Of the good qualities of life that you already knew."

I sat there, feeling stunned
All these realizations coming at me
It's a wonder I could say a word
She was the one who could make me see

I told her of my dreams
Told her how I still dream of you
She told me my dreams were only ordinary
Told me sorrowfully they'd probably never come true

I looked at her and asked her slowly
"Misery, why do we get hurt?"
She answered me truthfully
"Because some people feel better when they make others feel like dirt."

Misery was the only one who could understand
She told me everything wouldbe okay
I trusted Misery with all I had
But she warned me that things wouldn't change within a day

We talked for hours on end
Told her of my future and past
She just sat there and listened
As I told her how I wished that you and I could last

She smiled at me softly
Hugged me real tight
Misery had streaming down her porcelain cheeks
As she told me everything would be alright

She told me if I decided to leave everything behind
And maybe I would
She could guarantee that others
Still wouldn't be able to see everything I could

She promised me most of these feelings I felt would pass
But she left out the most important part..
She didn't tell me this---
But you would still be in my heart.
