Trying to Heal
Tears pouring down
Like heavy rain
The only thing
That keeps me sain
The only thing
To mask the pain
Heart broken
From words spoken
Trying to heal
Pain is what I feel
So so much pain
Totally unreal
I hide myself
In others things
Still has that
Dreadful sting
I’ve lost my rhythm
Every time I’m with them
Trying to recover
Keep getting run over
Trying to rebuild my life
People’s words cut like a knife
Way too much strife
People ought to be muzzled
Wouldn’t leave me so puzzled
Traveling down the road
Trying to let my mind unload
Trying to get my story told
Watching despair unfold
Trying hard to be bold
Trying to keep my act together
Hoping I will get better
Just knowing someday soon
This will be a victory letter
So here I am today
With my heart in the right spot
Even with all the
Battles I fought
So hear I stand
Completely healed
Without any
Blood spilled
