Tiny Footprints

By SilencedAngel

tiny little footprints
left in my soul
of all those who have trampled
where no one should go
too many scars
that no one seems to notice
or even care about
but i am learning that this is how the world works
no matter what you do
your left behind in the dirt
while everyone else loves and becomes happy
your stuck in the dust
wishing to be happy
longing to be loved
knowing that it will never happen
no matter what you do
and all you have to show for your pain and troubles
are those tiny little footprints
left in your soul
