my heart has been broken and my soul cracked many times
I have been knocked down
life has stabbed me with with daggers that still bleed
I have fallen to pieces
life can be very cruel
and words and jabs can leave one fragmented and unsure
childhood was not a very happy journey
there was too much grief and death
my wounds are hidden
for I wear a mask of happiness each day
if people hurt me I become dark silent
where I fold my wings
but through
teachings philosophical I have studied
and found a great truth
a belief system and a code of morals
I asked God he said
put your faith in the bible
buddha says
live in now
and tao said have calm patience
so I have a new ideology path
can handle pain but think I will always be
a bit cracked
