Poetry of Scars Left Behind
Dark Skys
Giving Away a Piece of Herself Each and Every Day
An empty darkness is rising inside, leaving her lost and alone for nobody to find
Every decision in her life was for the sake of others needs
Her heart screamed out let me help you, I can you will see
Give me your pain and I'll carry it away
I am strong I will survive, so she thought every day
I will feel your pain and swallow your anger
I will fix your problems and give you my prayers
I will protect you with my body and guard you with my mind
Never will you hear me say no.
I am nothing,g if not needed, I will never let go
Years and years of giving and now nothing left inside
With each and every sacrifice she gave away a little more than she could spare
Never once did she put herself before others
Never once did she dare
Giving became her life: regardless of what she would loose
Now withering away with nothing left but sorrow and pain
Her thoughts grow darker and her spirit is broken
Dreaming her whole life about receiving her wings
With no one there and unable to fly, she has found herself crippled and ready to die
Giving has brought great happiness, leaving her empty inside
She is lost and confused with only unanswered questions left behind
Why they never noticed she was giving it all,
Piece by piece they watched as she would fall
Never wanting for anything, never for herself
She sits and she waits as time passes by
All but forgotten in everyone else's eye
The Roads We Travel
How Many Times Must a Man Travel Down the Same Roads Before He Finds His Final Path
A man born into the world with so many roads to navigate
He ventures to the right than to the wrong
He falls into holes and climbs up mountains
He swims the ocean and floats the river
No path for happiness can be found
He triumphs and he fails,
He conquers and he quits
He fights and he surrenders
His path he does not see
He deals with the devil and he prays to the Lord
He walks and he runs
Yet he is no closer to his path
He hides in the darkness
He glows in the sunshine
He loves and he hates
The path is still miles away
He rights all his wrongs
He fights to do right
He forgets who he loves
He loves with all his might
His path is getting closer but still out of reach
He looks to the heavens and follows his feet
He knows the right direction, what a climb it will be
His path has been determined but it will take many more roads to reach
He needs a few more trials, yet his journey has just begun
He listens to the father and learns to have fun
With the Lord in his heart and more lessons on the way
He will travel through this life on this road he must stay
Swirling Storm
Sometimes You Can't Go Home Again
A family not chosen by one's own needs
A family's destruction by evil and greed
Longing for love and attention, yet too blind to see
Your family will never be the salvation that you will seek
You know in your heart that good they will never be
You find yourself leaving and trying to believe
While away your heart lightens and the sun is so bright
The abandoned and lonely heart begins to fight
The family you seek brings you back in the night
Into the darkness and the shadows, even though you know it's not right
You try to make what's so wrong fill a void you know will never go away
Your hope and your heartache suppress the urge to run, run, today
You know they will never come together again
Yet you pray and you pray, please Lord let me walk while I still can
Sometimes you can't go home again, for not all will leave the past where it belongs
Sometimes it's better off that you stay away when it is all wrong
Sometimes your only salvation will be the home in the end
Sometimes your only family will be the angles up high
Sometimes it's not your duty to make sure that everyone fly's
I reckon that more people can already see, not all families will learn to be free
From the pain and the sadness that resides inside
From the past, that tour out their heart and gouged out their eyes
They never will surrender to compassion and love
And you need to walk away before you lose your path to the Lord above
