Emotional Angiush
Emotional wounds
These cuts run deep
Can't cover the wound
Won't ignore it's pain
Tears have fallen
Hard lessons learned
Feeling non-existent
Travel alone for so long
Latched onto fears
Strong foundations built of rage
Caged I feel
Locked away behind bars of shame
Can't tame the demons that lurk about
Shocked you might be once you see what i have lived though
Tauted and made fun of
Tossed around like a flat ball
No bounce in my step
No air in my lungs
A heartbeat frail
I've sank to the bottom
Staring straight up wanting someone to hear my cries
Ignored I've been
Cast aside a ruin of a man I've stood
My fears weigh heavy
My dreams fade with each sunrise
Courage it takes for my eyes to see each day
Unhappy I seem content I maybe
But someone guides me still
Has not given up on me
I believe that's where these words originate in the eyes of a man that can see past me
A God a wonderful reckoning a cure for all my doubt
A dream he sees in me I just need to see with his eyes and believe I am meant for much more then this reality I live each day.
