Remove the Pain

Covered in road kill
Winners and losers
Confusion breaks me free

I let the books fall
So it could breathe

Below the surface
I let the words
Expand my mind

I retrieved the page
That allowed peace

Burned, what had already been burned
Remember my name

Full moon whispers light
My song

My song dancing shadows
Forever sings
Forever



                    Sings
