Courage Writes Me

Stab wounds creating tension in my aura 

I try to deny it but the breath don't lie 

inside I wanna break down and cry 

but there's no one to hold me 

so I stay strong and write at night 

It's my path to walk alone it seems 

in my own history,

 pushing me to stand 

while i'm

Battling

 in some one else's crime

punishing my soul

I feel small and 

the shame never dies 

but what can you do 

just tie your shoes, 

bake the bread,

get on the bus 

the feeling is never far behind 

it never leaves but 

what can you do ..

~

I smell the roses 

black as they are 

they are what I need 

to survive

Such beauty once more. Battling in someone else's crime. What a wonderful line from such sadness.
