I know where you’ve been
The reality behind strained grin
Long sleeves
Baggy shirts
Underneath it all is hurt
Make-up doesn’t hide the sign
Emotional decline
Soul damaged and burnt
Confusion and chaos
Not really living
Utterly lost
Weight of your demons
Holding you down
Pretending and hiding
Praying for an end
Or some quick fix
There is no magic trick
Maleficent parasites
Blinding the light
Blood is still flowing
With every heart beat
Your hope is showing
However dim
Time to write your own hymn
Let your tears spill over the brim
Lift you up
Take the pressure off
Your precious heart
You are the start
Leader of the crusade
A new life to be made
Hope is the ammunition
That kept you alive
Take the long way home
Allegiance armored
Harnessed power
Save yourself
Warrior child
Resurrected
Redirected
Reclaimed
Thank you for sharing your words, loved it. X
