Pain for Paradise

I give my best
To accept myself
Those words
This hate
Killing me

What teen believes
In God above
Who’s faith so strong
Denies emotional love

It hurts to feel
Betrayed
By my surroundings
But in the race
I run
Its pain for paradise

The blocks are set
Ready to go
Waiting
For the gun to fire
My hearts racing
My mind is blank
No ones here
Surround me
Isolation
Just me and the track
Smoke before fire
-BANG-
Times running
Released into the race
Faster, run faster
Finish line ahead
50 meters left
Pain-
My lungs
Air

Oh the thrill
I love
In this race
I run
Its pain for paradise

No drugs, no sex
With you from me
Ridiculed
Neglected
Abandon me

What teen believes
In God above
Whose faith so strong
Denys physical love?

It hurts to feel
Betrayed
By my surroundings
But in the race
I run
Its pain for paradise
