PAIN

your eyes pulsate with the beat of your heart

your heart burns in the heat of your anger

your anger drowns in the sorrow of your soul

your soul trapped by the chains of your thoughts

your thoughts cemented in the fears of your father

your father innocent of your believes

but round an’ round

the pain you go.

story retold, meaning forgotten

the wave once formed won’t be broken ’til land

and the fire once lit won’t die out until dawn

and the walls of your heart will grow taller at night

let it wash over you.

welcome its piercing embrace

cherish its bitter medicine

rejoice in the iced water

with your missing limbs

swim through the swamp of the

misundertood

washup on the shore

of innocence

and when the sun will dry out the dirt in your hair

and the salt on your skin

you will open your mouth

and drink

the water

of life.
