Better Life

Song Poems

The nights are cold, the days are too long.

With all my might, I'm trying to hold on.

But I'm getting tired, my arms are weak.

I can't hold on, I start to weep.

I start to let go, this life I can't keep.

But wait, what’s this, it's a calling voice.

"Wait! Hold on! You have a choice!"

I strengthen my hold, so I can hear the voice.

"If you hold on, I'll help you see,

that there’s more to life than there seems to be."

I held on a little longer, and a hand came down.

He showed me a better life, showed me around.

Now, no matter what you do, you can't put me down.

For now I have a better life.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is from Hold On by Good Charlotte. Punk or not, their lyrics kick butt. And they dedicated this song to certain people who have a lot of problems in life, and I am one of them. When I first heard it, I liked it, when I read who it was dedicated to, it made me feel so good.
