Written after I'd helped someone through a tough time in their life. I realized that the hardships I've been through helped them to realize how lucky they really were... and it depressed the hell outa me.
Messenger
There is a longing in me just to be understood
I try to do what is right, I try to do what is good
I’ll never be accepted - I’ve had the revelation
God, you were supposed to lead me not into temptation
But here I am and I’m suffering dearly
And to my dismay I see the answer all too clearly
There is not another on earth like me
For I was meant to suffer, each pain a seed
A seed that will grow into a blinding light
So I can help others to see through their night
For I am a messenger for all to hear
To know what to take pride in, know what to hold dear
I am a messenger with no life of my own
I was meant to teach the world, meant to be alone
I am a messenger, that is why I feel your pain
I tell you of the demons in my life I have slain
I am a messenger and it pains my heart
Cause in your world I have no part
