Part healed the scares within us, from the hidden hurts of life Ugly scares; each one a wound as cut by blunted knife Not healing due to let up of a day which knows not change The one inside feels pressures, as the outer turns to strange Muffled by an inner sense that sees in just one way Hiding in the comfort zone, afraid to sway the day But wounds they just keep pounding, with their medicines too weak The cure being courage and the guts to freely speak But nothing, it is changing and the torture looms again The one within keeps crying, with the questions asking when? Too worried of the future, of what could turn and be A lifetime seeming wasted with a heart that isn’t free Unprepared, untrusting while the wounds still bit the soul A miracle one needing and a will to turn them whole To take the chance on fate itself and what could lie ahead Instead of living just on dreams, that live inside our head Inner mass confusion, of stress and living ways Another morn has risen, what brings the coming days???? |
