Lyrics of Spirit Pain

I struggle every day to find meaning in any way.
I can see the stars reflecting, but I'm too busy neglecting.
I try to keep up. My daily routines are heavy.
No time for anything else. All the faces, too many.

Instead of shining pennies, I see dull dimes.
My outlook is anxious, looking for better times.
Coming to terms with my status in life.
It's not unreal to always be dealing with strife.

My spirit is in pain. I have no one else to blame.
I await for an answer to come through. I don't know what else to do.
Sometimes my head is in a spin. And I know I can't win.
It feels like a long hard climb. Maybe if I can just bide my time.

Just get over it, they say. Just change your attitude.
Get back on track. Right now your life's a bit unscrewed.
My spirit is definately in pain. And I feel I shouldn't complain.

Suddenly, "Wake up", I heard my inner voice say.
"Open your heart to another person's pain, and then get out of the way.
You aren't alone in what your inward essence feels.
Together you may find what the invisible unseen truth reveals.
