Flowing Freely

Life isn’t easy It’s hard And sometimes The only way to survive Is to reach for a friend You take your friend Out of its case And it guides your hand Letting your pain and suffering Flow freely out of you Like the welling up Ruby red lines It stings only a little With each stroke But the suffering Well it leaves But its not long Before it all comes back All comes back Crashing down on you So I just take my friend Out once more To let it do its job And make this suffering Leave once more Even if it’s not for long
