In this body....

By hopeless

There once was a mighty light in me
That all who befriended this shadow could see
and through the years of pain and misery

that light began to grow unmersifully dim
with a threat of inextinction growing within

the life laid before me became so clear
when all my helplessness drew me near
to my one and only fear

as the days pass by
we are all wondering why

our best seems to not be enough
this life has become so rough

bumps and bruises all over
i just cant seem to roll over on my side

im stuck in this position
lost in your wonderful disposition

and now
these black lips
bring unwanted hearts

this broken face
brings the world apart

and this broken body
is where i start

this is a horrid reminder
of what i have put my self through

and i have no time to start this life anew

this silver heart just wont shine
these red lips refuse to be mine

these broken wrists begin to hurt
in the tightness of my shirt

these long legs covered in bruises
from fights that cause your abuses

these hopes have died
and i have tried

no more will this life be ruined
through my thoughts of mass confusion

adieu
to those who tried there best

to understand me
so now i rest
