A Senti_Mental Journey....
He looks so together
it's very hard to see
just how he might be suffering
he's quite like you and me
Behind closed doors he's cracking jokes
She's crying endless tears
out in public we're not aware of all their hidden fears
Everybody's got a cross to bear
some burden they are living beside
so try to be supportive in you they may confide
Today might come easy but there is no guarantee
just how long you'll be on top of your game
in fact it's plain to see
nothing ever stays the same and the tables are bound to turn
just where you've been celebrating so a flame can also burn
Today you might be brave
and tomorrow not as much
our sensitivities are different
and we respond uniquely as such
But sure as night will follow day
your feelings at some point will have their way
Don't condemn them let them be
Staying in touch is the real key
Everybody's suffering
Give others a needed break
forgive them they are trying all your effort it will take
This too shall pass it's changing all the time
sometimes there is no reason or indeed an obvious rhyme
Everybody's suffering just try to be aware
It really is a personal race and
it's futile to compare
We're alike but different
it's a paradox you see
parts maybe similar
reacting individually
Everybody's suffering
try to understand
my experience is unique
I'm from a different land
Try to be constructive
in all that you say
Everyone is trying hard
to navigate their way
A way through this journey
the road that we call life
to try and make some sense of things
even through our strife
Everybody's suffering
you know this to be true
try on someone else'shoes
it may change your point of view.
Everybody's suffering
look beyond the words they say
It's not what you imagine
can you spread your love today?
It could be a word or touch
where they know they're not alone
a comforting voice soothing them by speaking on the phone
Everybody's suffering
a part of me and you
searching for a light in the dark
to allow us to pull through.
The grass is always greener
or so it appears that way
but zoom your lense up close
we've all been hurt along the way.
It's how we all respond
that makes us who we are
Everybody's suffering
you don't have to look too far.
