Temporary

Temporary

A Poem by Barry Shelton

Verse 1:

What have we become?

A race that takes pride in being numb

But that's not me, that's not how I believe

I want to feel every f*****g thing

from heat to rain

pleasure to pain

everything is only temporary

so I'm taking it all in

 

Chorus:

I wonder what you're thinking

what goes on in your mind

just come to me, let me in

I promise it will all be fine

pain is a promise

but there's no need to suffer alone

find comfort in me

know I hurt like you

just never let your heart turn to stone

 

Verse 2:

For every one that hurts you

every one that stabs you in the back

there is another that can pick up the pieces

restore the confidence you lack

I am here and I am alive

I will hold you through the storm

Just hang on

I swear to you on the other side it's warmer

 

repeat chorus

 

Bridge:

I am not perfect

this I know as a fact

I've been torn, I've been broken

but nothing is beyond repair

It's all just a matter of time

take my hand

I'll never let it go

I'll be a light in the darkness

a voice for the mute

You are not alone

I am right here with you
