That's Life

Is it too much to ask,
For just one day of peace?
To unlock all this hurt
Without needing the keys.

A shooting at school,
A backstabbing friend.
A broken heart,
Too impossible to mend.

Why do we endure,
All this pain and sorrow.
If I close my eyes,
Will it be gone tomorrow?

Yet we all live with it,
Though it cuts like a knife.
We have no power,
'Cause you know, That's life!
