Circles

Feels like I’ve been here
So many times before
Standing at this same crossroad
Tear soaked cheeks
And a heavier heart
I’ve stared at this path
That has no end
Resentment and anger
Both closely hovering
Deluded by hurt and blame
So much locked in
So much baggage carried in my heart
Don’t mean to hurt
Or tear another story apart
There’s no one to run to
No shoulders to catch my tears
No arms to hold me close
And chase away those fears
Alone I face the world
One sunrise at a time
Burying everything else within
Living today as if there is no other
And even though I hurt
No one knows my pain
Because through it all
I’ll always continue smiling
