Insight To a Damaged Mind

Since youth I figured truth was 
embedded into fragments that 
could fit  inside a tooth
Because proof was right there 
in my front pair when most  
thought my vision was glared
But I just starred in the night 
when most  fright I seen it as a 
opportunity of sight
Then the light appeared and  
like a deer I got sucked into a 
world of fear
And with no one near I  
embedded my chest to the 
ground where sound could be 
found
And as the  pound vacated my 
heart it marked the falsified 
pavements and broke them  
apart
Now it's a new start from a old 
begging and as I continued  
swimming I routed to the light 
that kept on dimming
So as winning may  be a 
statement I may not find I 
learned to move forward not 
rewind so I'll  always be close 
behind
But until then I close my eyes 
and bridge off  the tears from 
the fears I battled through my 
ancient years
And as some  may hear what I 
have to say still doesn't weigh 
what I gone through or  
experience today
So I say time will fly some will 
die then be imprinted  in mind
So don't cry I've been on this 
journey and in no hurry to see 
my  body be buried
So don't worry I stay alone 
which is a zone that I know  my 
own tone
So phone if you like but now I 
write to give you that  insight 
into a damaged mind.
