through the pain
we see and we take,
but cannot seem to find-
what it is we are looking for.
through the pleasure
you'll feel great for awhile.
it'll go away one day,
and someday, you'll want more of that pleasure.
through life
we find people that stay,
some that go,
but they all wither away one day.
through death
you find yourself
in a mess-
you must confess.
through happiness
you think you see for awhile,
till it all comes crashing down-
crashing down into yourself-nothing is left.
through sadness
you'll find happiness,
though it won't be long...
till your sad again.
through the light,
you can see things
just the right way, you think-
but it goes away at the end of the day.
through the darkness
you can't see,
but you'll find what you were looking for-
a little peace.
