As I Lay Dying

bound to learn the hard way
this is the human condition
there is nothing that can be said
to stop us from making mistakes
when i look to myself as a source of ending pain
no matter how many times before i've failed
it seems our problems solve themselves
when we look beyond us to those truly in hell
the more i focus on myself
then the more helpless that i become
so why not erase this point of view?
my suffering is trivial
compared to those who know real agony
