Crying sometimes hurts the heart to remember pain
Forgotten within remains pushed underneath ashes
Once buried, now dug up while reminiscing the past
Dealt never with the emotion to let go and move on
From the effects of sinister plot’s removing life found
Deep within the ocean containing happiness in life
There, left to die, beyond the surface trapped in a wound
No one can see, for it has left the presence of conformity
Given to at birth, somewhere lost in the experiment and burnt
Further than winds might carry the soul still hurting, now dying
Are the remains left as time consumes the right to carry-on
Thrusting once again, the shame and pain, back into the corpse
Attempting life once again, but feeling drained of itself
As if the ocean carries a different tune to break silence of use
Returning upon the final chapter of pain instilled for tonight
Life must endure more for a cause greater than words could burn
Into the skin to display ignorance and hatred, breathing out
One last request -to remain here, upon the war grounds
Spilled out, the contents, upon the desolate face to taste
And devour the past, allowing oneself to continue falling
Still standing on top of the remains, the lies, the threats
And becoming something more than believed before the future
Thought came to be more than a memory fought back
To forget what happened for the pain was too great a chore
Words bouncing off ignorance’s walls, wrapped inside the instrument
Playing words into music, ringing inside the mind to demonstrate
Melancholy notes into phrases written upon the heart felt
With a fragrance more powerful than clothing the heart to rest
To reminisce inside outer lies, believing them not as truth
But as they are, and trying to erase the smudges never left
Even thoughts mirrored are the lies and half-truths formed
Within the mind to reuse the type of light shattering the life
First breathed, now finally seeking fire to release the emotion
As if to be is never enough, to breathe is not a talent given
To society’s myth built upon waters moving
that life is a gift.
