Sad People's Bus
She lost her child on a rainy day
All she could do now is cry
She begged the world to return her child
She longs for the touch
She longs for the forgotten embrace
He hurt the one he loved the most
All he could do now is weep
He begged time for another chance
He knows regret is cold dagger
He can never keep warm smoke in his hand
The little girl wanted to escape
It was freedom that she longed for
It was understanding that she wanted
It was love she was searching for
But it was something she did not understand
The little boy wanted to do this and that
But he had no arms to reach for his dreams
He had one leg to run for cover
His heart was broken in many ways
He prayed to be remade, but none listened
The woman wanted to feel beautiful
She wanted someone to say so
But even the mirror turns away
Not even an eye bothers to look at her twice
Not even her own eyes
The man wanted to feel needed
He wanted someone to yearn for him
But his hand does not recognize affection
It only knows pain and punishment
And that is all it gives to him
I too, rode that bus of sad people
Everyone around me battled a demon
Some were losing, some were winning
Some just wanted the fight to be over
But I will fight, because I’m not alone
