Just Let

Just broken and fragmented today Let the wind blow my scatters where they may Let the sun scorch my remains into the dirt Let the footsteps pound me deep beneath the hurt Just undone, unglued, and unraveled Let my sole bare the sores of roads traveled Let the snow freeze my skin until painless Let the ice pelt me until beaten and gain-less Just confused, dissolving, and forgotten Let the rancid fog settle heavy on the rotten Let the desert sauna bake ‘til dust and bones Let the mirage remind me mockingly of home Just surviving, struggling for another fight Let the storm suffocate the healing light Let the moon linger long until tomorrow Let the ocean submerge me in this sorrow Just discouraged, disgusted, and delayed Let the drought ravage fields where I have played Let the trees creep like monsters on the path Let the terror build slow to the evil aftermath Just tired, torn apart, and tormented Let scream the silent beast you invented Let the victims tumble bloody without repent Let the raging madness flame until it's spent Just wanting, wishing, and now wasting Let the smile surface faintly while tasting Let the timid and heartless fear longer Let the weak and vulnerable make you stronger
