Through The Laughter and Through The Tears

Laughter and peace have set in                                      
I can feel once again
This time I am wiser.
Living my life
I still try and save helpless animals
Even the humankind
I just want to be hurt again.

I love my friends
They're wonderful.
I love helping them.
It makes me feel needed.
Reaching out in a time of need
To help others.
That's the thing I most desire

What went wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
What's wrong with me?
These are the questions I asked myself
When everything fell through.
Still hurting, I'm almost healed, but not completely.
Inside I'm still bleeding.
Can't help the pain.
The feelings still remain.

Wrapped in a box inside my heart
I swallowed the key.
No one going to get me.
To much pain to go through
I've been through it all, almost
So tortured I rather have been dead.
No, No more Boy Friend's for me.
I'm staying free

Would you say I have been wounded?
I'd say I had been practically murdered.
Hearts have been laid up in the ER for months
Didn't think I'd pull through, but I did.
It got dark, so dark it was scary.
Storm passes

After the rain
You find the damage that's been done
That's when you rebuild
Time, enjoyment, fun, and grins
A whole lot of Laughter
Brings healing and strength
Through the tears  and through the laughter
I find friends. :)
