Empty Room
Vacant Walls
No blues or reds
there's room enough to fall
but there is no bed.
Empty like a desert
No place to hide
Nothing to cause heartache
this room in which I reside.
The walls speak not
or smile at me
trying to call out
"I cannot flee!"
Locked away for now
in a place no one knows
I wait alone to be found
as my eyes begin to close.
Empty soul, empty mind
I try to think
seeking what I can't find
my heart, it begins to sink.
no beginnings or ends
I'm sealed in a tomb
This reality refuses to bend
it refuses to change this empty room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please...
So sullen, so sad
covered by the lies.
So angry, so mad
knowing everyone dies.
Left alone to fight,
no one to help me through.
I begin to lose sight,
as they all fade, even you!
I'm crying in pain,
surrounded by shadow.
I fight in the rain,
Please, don't leave me now.
You were never on my side,
you never cared.
I had no place to hide,
they were always there.
Watching, waiting to kill.
I try to run away,
But I'm so very still.
Please don't hurt me now.
I punch, I kick,
I struggle to get free.
You make me so sick,
Please, get away from me!
Through my Eyes
Sit back and listen close
To the words that come out of my mouth
I'll tell you what I see
And I'll tell you who will cry
All through my eyes.
Where you see a paradise
I see a wasteland
When you ask me how this will arise
I will tell you, "We'll do it, my good man!"
Where you see children happy as can be
I see them crying for their mommy
When I tell you something must be done
You ignore me my son
Where you see a country safe from harm
I see you as wars right arm
When you ask me how I know
I will say "A hidden foe!"
Where you see a society full of equals
I still see the pains of prejudice
When you ask me how this can be amongst our peoples
I will tell you "I can only begin to guess."
Through your eyes
You see the finer things
Through your eyes
You see nothing
Through your eyes you see only what you want
Through your eyes
You see all the happy thoughts.
Through my eyes
I see the truth
I see the world
The bad seeds and poison fruit
Through my eyes
I see the pain
I see the death and who will gain
I see people changing themselves
I see women selling themselves
I see children unable to play
Because parents are afraid of what hides during the day
I see our normal life
Ravaged by deadly diseases
I see a normal night
When even a grown man can be brought to his knees
I see all these things through my eyes....
Scars
A hundred tears, plus a hundred more
Still she hurts
A dreaded felling, oh so torn
She wants to be one with the dirt
A vision that refuses to go away
She feels unrelenting pain
For bestowing her heart to a dream
The fingers that coil about her heart
The claws that want to tear it apart
Hopelessly she feels the way she does
And wishes for what never was.
The kindness that everyone wants
The warmth of love that everyone flaunts
She knows this'll never be
The person she loved was a figment of her imaginings
He had seemed so real
So to, had the emotions she would feel
Like her, her world fell to chaos
And refused her the simple right to be the boss
To have a say in what was broken
And what would remain whole
He felt no shred of remorse in the fact that he stole
Stole from her what would take years to rebuild
What would take forever to refill
Her heart jumps at the thought
Of a brand new life
But like all other things
It's silenced with a knife
The depression that wont go away
The horrible feeling that won't obey
She still wishes to start her life a new
But that clawed hand continued to do what it loved to do
She wished to hide
To run the other way
and hope to death the scars would fade.
