Scars of Claws

Eye of the tiger 
Eye of the wolf 
I see shadows
Through fog and smoke  

Whispers of dark 
Whispers of light 
Will anything be alright? 
  
Only darkness captures me 
Stars to guide me  
As I plea  
Can someone see me?
Invisible to all 
I'm not a know it all 

Only the eyes of the predators hunt me down 
Their words like claws  
Only to leave scars in my head 
No way to get away 
Only able to pray 
Is there anything I could say?

The Pull

Struggle and strength
You have to achieve great lengths
The pull of a noose
The tighten of the knot
Around your little neck
Rings of pain
Your backbone snapping in half
The hourglass out of time
They tear out your heart and feed it to demons
Collect your soul and put it in a jar
Spiders and insects crawl through your eyes
And it's all because you pulled the tie
Jumped off the chair
You just seemed to dangle there
Your skin pale as the moon
Your smile perished
No words slipped out of those once red lips
The noose closed your throat 
Suffocated your mind
Only to leave you to die
Their words written in blades
All around your thighs
Your wrists torn to shreds
And now all you are is dead.

My Muse

No one to listen but you 
You are my muse 
Through and through 
no matter how tough 
you are my wings 
No matter how much their words sting 
I will not carry broken wings 
My heart and my soul
