New Skin

My scares are deep but rarely seen My heart bleeds for the petty and the mean In a world of beauty I see so much pain But will show kindness time and again I refuse to give in an be one of those that take Instead through kindness I chose to try and wake The souls that lost their way drowned in sorrow Only through kindness can we make a better tomorrow Through the grit in their eyes they see only spite I try to wipe it away and make everything right Motives are questioned and they begin to make fun Because for them kindness is weakness to do be done They find the hidden scares and rip them open wide But I stay strong with kindness and positivity at my side Trying to awaken the souls that are lost in hate Showing them the beauty of the world and I wait Hoping their eyes and heart clear from their illusion of life That they will see they don’t have to create trouble and strife Negative emotions are always deeper and so strong Than the positive emotions that show it’s so wrong So let them drag me to hell and back I will not fall If I can open their hearts there’s a better life for them all I sit patiently and watch doing what I can Realising against a world of spite I am only one man From their cocoon of self-loathing I hope they emerge Seeing a helping hand seems to make their anger surge Self destructive and spiteful they seem happy to be I seem to be their object to loath but they wont change me Happiness and caring is the heart of how I live and who I am Trying to show the world a better way even if they don’t give a dam Their destructive power drags me down and in their bitterness I drown I claw myself back out and with a new skin wear my kindness like a crown My new skin grows allowing me the protection I need To stop the spiteful ones having their daily feed Now I sit and wait for karma to reveal their fate Knowing I did my best to turn them around from hate With love and kindness I let them hit the ground In the hope that from this they will wake and come around Knowing for the world I have done my very best Now its their decision to do the rest
