Mend

By Soulfire

The world is alive with
brilliant colors
I try to blend in
but I'm not like the others

My heart once lively, vibrant and red
Now feels cold, life less and dead

I want to enjoy life: the here and now
but death is all around me and I don't know how

my cries won't stop
the pain won't end
my soul is numb
my heart won't mend

    living in a weakened state of strength.....gathering pieces of the whole.....curing the cancer of apathy.....i admire your will to mend.

    I beleive you just described half the population, so much better than most could for themselves

  • A former member wrote: a painful existance it is to not be able to fix that which is broken. Gather the pieces, reassemble what's left in dedication, and stumble into tomorrow. Life begins when we let it end.... understood and able to relate.
