Lonely Life

I sit on side of the road

The place I call home

With a sign and a can

Not wanting to be alone

They stare and they smile

Thinking I'm just a freak

And Deep down in side

I'm begging don't laugh at me

You Don't understand

Just what I've been through

It's not a joke or a game

I'm not as lucky as you

I struggle day to day

Barely able to survive

Take one hard look

Right into my eyes

The loneliness, the pain

The tears and the shame

The best part is

I'm the only one to blame

I knew what I was doing

But I did it anyway

Now I look back in regret

As I sit here today

I threw my whole life away

With that one stupid move

Should have known better

Now I look like a fool

Maybe one day you'll see

How I'm suffering inside

Then I wont have to hide my face

Trying to preserve my pride
