A Life Unsigned

Hold my heart up for the world to see Frame the furrows on my face And revel in the character that they exude Each crease a paragraph Of the story thus far A fauvist collection of lessons learned Read deeper, between the bristled lines To fully understand the relief Each one etched by discontented happiness Teeth without a smile A portrait of fortitude Of strength forged by unnecessary battles A marked and scarred fortress Erected by ever-watchful eyes No more blood shall be shed Time wasted being beaten by emotions By brittle relationships And iridescent infatuations Hung out in front, still left unsigned
