Why Can't I

Above my head dark clouds are gaining pace.

All around me the darkness feeds the gloom.

Why can't I feel the sunshine on my face?

Why can't I smell the flowers as they bloom?

The nightmare pictures running through my head.

Although I know it wasn't me to blame.

Why can't I just have happy thoughts instead?

Why can't I stop these feelings and the shame?

I'll find a way to get out from the dark.

I'll find a way to stop me asking why.

I'll start to smell the flowers in the park

I'll see the sun shine brightly in the sky.

I finally found a way to set me free

And live my life as it was meant to be.
