Sometimes when I’m sad
I think of my horrible past

Sometimes when I’m sad
I feel so hurt and broken
My heart breaks into a million pieces

Sometimes when I’m sad
I think of my childhood times

Sometimes when I’m sad
I think of my late mom and dad
That if they were with me
Would I be feeling the way I feel?

Sometimes when I’m sad
I feel alone and lonely
I feel like I’m in a hole where no one can recognize me

Sometimes when I’m sad
I feel like I have enemies everywhere because of my pain
