Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering Are all I know The rhythmic beatings Of its constant blows I don’t mind it anymore It’s just a part of life It keeps me focussed On the things that are right It tried to break me To crack my soul But it only allowed my Saviour To come in and make Continue reading
