Pain is life, and life can be beautiful with all its scars and flaws.


What do you do when you feel alone?
Captured within the pale walls of a broken home
What do you do when you feel alone?
Shattered dreams and all hope is gone

Inhaling the fumes of agony and pain
Hoping strength you'll soon regain
Broken glass you swallow every time you tell her a lie
Looking at her deep in her brown eyes
Wanting to tell her the truth
But knowing it would be just too much
Wanting to feel that tingly touch
That installation of kin that you once cherished
Now gone forever due to a poor marriage

What do you do when you feel alone?
Captured within the pale walls of a broken home
You break free and listen to the whispers of the wind
If only I knew now what I knew then

What's done in the dark always reveals itself in the light
What was done was done and even if it wasn't right
I will escape the feeling of loneliness and the tenderness of pain
And the love that I share with her in my heart will remain.

So what do you do when you feel alone?
Break down the pale walls within the broken home
Rebuild them and paint them with a clean white
It’s guaranteed to make everything alright...

What do you do when you feel alone?
Rebuild the strength and love within the home

I wasn't brought up in a broken home but I have become quite addicted to this wonderful book called House on Mango Street, and most of the poems I have been writing have been in contribution to that book .:)
