The strangest gift
The pain was the same.
When kids laughed at me.
When I didn't get into uni.
The pain was the same.
When she said "no".
The pain was the same.
When my dad said you died.
The pain was the same.
When my mamma cried over him.
The pain was the same.
But kids don't laugh anymore.
Some of them are dead already.
And there was another uni.
Where I met my best friends.
Then she came to my life
And I thought I wouldn't need anything else.
And I know you're gone for good
But I've already helped some people
Who went through the same hell.
And I know I'll be there to wipe all tears.
To lift up hearts.
To say everything is going to be fine.
To look with eyes that have seen too much.
To feel with heart broken too many times.
Suffering is the strangest gift
I never want to get.
Pain is the strangest gift
Taking time to understand.
How long I'll have to wait this time?
