A Fight That Never Ends
A FIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS (me and my soul)
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life or joy,
Who am I, you ask?
I painfully cry, no grand illusions,
No place to go, Destined to stay here
I’m a rollercoaster of emotions
As you walk down in your life
Oceans of tears falling down in heavy droplets
The mouth of the earth can’t wait to swallow more of your tears
You stopped and looked for a way
Although your salty tears are laced with rage and heartache,
Let that experience break you open and rock the inside
Shaking, trembling, yet full of life
Be aware of your own strength, Soul
Do not put your healing on hold any longer, my sweet soul
Stop indulging in pain,
Feeding yourself with the agony of another soul’s lack of love
The scattered pieces of your heart will heal
And your enclosing love will again seep the corners of your soul
How can I see the rain bow when it’s dark all around?
Tell me, How can I just stop and interpret these feelings?
Inside I’m crying, Outside I’m smiling
No one even notices,
It’s hard for me to control all the battles in me
When you see me walk by
It doesn’t look like it, but grand illusions only
Because crying is all I can do
The sensation of pain is all I can feel
When even the dearest that I loved the best
Are now strangers, forsake me like a lost memory
I’m a hater of ignorant people and liars
I’m- yet what I am no one cares or knows
I’m a lost soul, a naïve soul
I’m one who has felt and had enough
Why do things always happen this way?
Why doesn’t my heart choose to stay closed?
Why can’t you feel my pain?
This is all I ask, Soul
Help me walk through
Yes, you are right
People in life, come and go, even the beloved
Life flies away by night before your eyes
People live you to fight alone
You lock up your heart and throw the key
To see if there will be who bothers to pick them, none
Through it all, you wouldn’t change a thing
Transform your pain into creativity sitting dormant in your bones
Be tender and gentle with your experience,
Acknowledge every emotion,
And refuse to diminish this delicate, beautiful Soul
