These legs, so tired
Give out
These scars, unable
To heal
Closed eyes
Never open again
Breath all I have
Left
Much to shallow
To keep me
Satisfied
That’s life for
You
Everything always so
Close yet to far
To reach
Break down don’t
Fear the end
Now
Too close to
Forget
To fuzzy to remember
Weak willed until
The end
Ignorant leading
The arrogant
The blind man
Will only speak
To the deaf man
Pain only felt
By those akin
To your past
Forgive the sinners
Forget the saviors
Reasons swallowed
By pride
Tainted innocence
What we’ve lost
Over time
Confess your darkest
Moments to a stranger
As your demons
Laugh
If I jump off
This cliff,
Will I be
Forgiven?
I always have
Something to
Learn
Fragmented
Pick up the broken
Pieces of
My life
See beyond the
Sky
Pierce beneath
The skin
Steady your
Clenched fist
You’ll make something
Of yourself
One day
You will make
All of the expectations
Unspoken
Bonds you try
To sever are
The ones
That you hold
Dear
The tears you
Shed
The smiles
You fake
The pain you
Feel
All a part of
You
That you will
Come to hate
Remember the
Day you
Became what you
Are now
Don’t let it
Fade…
