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
