HOW LONG


How long does the pain last
This is the question I asked
Will it ever come to past
Wish it would move little fast
How long must I fight depression
Will I ever have a profession
Can my mind just freshen
It's just a question
How long will I be alone
When will I be out of the zone
And have someone of my own
Will this ever be known
How long must I be sad
And feel so bad
Just want to be glad
Have someone in my life I can add
How long will I be broke
Feels like I'm living a joke
Not having makes me choke
It's enough to give me a stroke
How long must I be like this
Feels like I've fallen in the abyss
I just need a kiss
And be the one someone will miss
How long is what I ask
Must I hide behind the mask
Just need it bask
It's not a easy task
