Just Another Day

 

Silent tears poured from her wounds,
Making tracks forever known, 
Rage and Pain echoed around her in silence,
Laughter at the thought of being alone, 

One drop of acid in an eye,
Pain multiplied tenfold by salt in the wound, 
Pounding heart complicated by resentful lungs, 
Waiting for someone to say she had bloomed, 

Screams shut down, cries held back again, 
Accursed by the blames of others, 
Spirit and self-love ripped to shreds, 
Another day, just another, 

Hand in hand, hand on metal, 
Foot on cold hard love, 
Tongue on shame, hard pressed in silence, 
Heart singing in rhythm, heart cold focused on things above, 

Not just another day, not another day, 
Screams shut down, cries held back again, 
Tears of remembrance, tracks forever known
Last day, singing silent songs of pain.

If I Were

I'm not that fragile flower you think I am, 
But if I were a flower, 
I'd be in full bloom, strong and bright, 
Swaying in the field of poppies, 

I'm not about to crack under the pressure, 
But if I were to someday crack, 
I'd show all these beautiful golden dreams, 
My onion-like layers, gold upon gold, 

I'm not a ticking time bomb about to explode, 
But if I were, I'd become the brightest star, 
A shining beacon to those in the dark, 
Destroying the dark and spreading fire, 

I'm not drowning in a sea of air, 
But if I were, I'd learn to swim, 
Back to shore and caress the sands of time, 
And look back to see how far I've come, 

I'm not a broken little girl, 
I am that warrior that men do fear, 
Winning all my battles, by own hand, 
Loving when I want, and whom I choose,

I am living my life in full bloom, 
Not in need of saving, or controlling, 
Thanks to my battles, I became strong, 
For now, I am that warrior of little girl dreams.

Smile


Smile my darling, for everything will be okay, 
Little do they know of the things I say, 
Smile my darling, for everything has a purpose, 
Little do they know how I live in the grey, 

Wide eyes, painted smile, 
Closed eyes, broken smile, 
Wide eyes, fake the happy, 
Closed eyes, falling tears, 

Smile my darling, for you don’t know what is around the corner, 
How to smile when the only thing around the corner is black, 
Smile my darling, for one day you will find love, 
No reason to smile when love isn’t real, 

Truth revealed and demons screaming, 
Hearts broken and trust dissolved, 
Eyes drowned and lungs starved, 
Resolve leaving, Spirit stripped,

Smile my darling, for I am here,
Smile my darling, for I love you, 
No more tears shed for I will hold your hand, 
No more broken dreams for I am your glue, 

Tears shed for you know nothing, 
Tears shed for you spout naught but lies, 
Screams hidden for you pretend to love, 
Heartbroken as you prepare to leave, 

Bags packed, eyes avoiding, 
Heart cold to the touch of love, 
No tears shed, no smiled shared, 
You lied, I believed, we died.

Empty silence, violent silence, 
Broken hearted dreams, 
Hands empty, cold, broken, 
Tears shed for you were never here to begin with.
