The Hurt Within

I feel so broken 
such thoughtless words 
such angry words spoken 

To suffer everyday 
in silence 
to appease 
the person to please 
anger at bay 

Everyday 
a little harder to take 
yet to endure 
days on end 
your mistake 

To write 
your only release 
your only escape 
you only want peace 
your plight 

The heart inside 
dying a little 
beaten 
the hurt you hide 
you just died 

Always one way 
compromises 
never exist 
always another day 
such things wished 

There must be an end 
sometime 
for eagles fly 
will my heart mend? 
or will it wither and die? 

I feel so broken 
such thoughtless words 
such angry words spoken 

To write 
open the heart 
the spirits flown 
released 
my plight 

To all out there 
my soul to abre 
my plight 
for I live 
in the mind 
like a bird of the air
