Bittersweet Symphony

I felt his pain as if my own,
His sadness engulfed us both in that moment,
Amidst despair, hope can still arise,
I don't know what to do with my mind and heart.

Happiness felt vague at times,
As if experiencing joy was a crime.
But misfortune always made its presence known,
Enveloping me by throwing a stone.
I hit rock bottom in the blink of an eye,
And failure went hand in hand with loneliness, I cannot lie.

To save face, I pretended I was fine,
But deep down, all I wanted was a family that was mine,
Someone to believe in me, to care,
But misfortunes seemed to follow me everywhere.

One after the other, they never seemed to end,
And darkness always surrounded me, a cruel friend,
So I wonder, will I be whole once more?
Will peace return, as it did before?
Or will I forever be trapped in this never-ending loop?
With the darkness engulfing me in the coop.

Can I ever enjoy a normal evening again?
Or will I always be left with my pain?
With each step forward, I'll find my way,
To cherish a normal evening, in May.
In this life, woven with pain,

I'll find strength in hope, and rise again.
