Bonsai Heart

inside a great, shiny armor made with metals from everywhere resides a little, cute tree afraid of everything else. the questions from inside keeps him awake at night. how can he be so quiet, a heart so full of pride? letting the mind occupied and forgetting the heart so tired. the perfection of the silence makes him patient in suffering. his prayers only to God and nobody else knows his feelings. flawless life of secrets, secrets about I can only wonder. oh, my young boy, how much you can stay like that? oh, my friend, will you be like this forever? I can only wonder... the little plant inside your heart desperate to grow, but never stronger is this what they call art? the scissors, the wounds, the fire of a sound a silent scream into the nothingness where you left your feelings? don't tell me you trade them for a brief smile to hear lies saying that you're alright.
