Hearts, scars, and flames

hearts break

scars ache

and they all tell me that i am okay

there is no room in this world for the sane

born from the ashes 

burn in the flame

you close your eyes in an effort to dream

when nights of silence are too extreme

take a drink 

take a pill

grab your money

make a deal

crash and burn

tables have turned

listen to your mothers it time to learn

the mistakes you made aren't set in stone

this is life you're not a drone 

make it right 

stand and fight

you gotta choose the dark or light 

forwards backwards its okay

as long as you have strength today

in a trance

song and dance

all it takes is a second chance

and perhaps a second glance 
do not make this choice your last

only you can change your mind

who is it you'd leave behind

for the silly spat you had 

on the day you both were mad

Author's Note

idc about grammar right now. Its nowhere near done.

Although this begins with 'heart ache', in actuality it's a reaffirmation of life piece.

Think this is sage. I think sometimes we dwell on our mistakes, and get so caught up in the past (scars), that we miss the present(heart), or handicap our future .

This is the "flame" part for me. Yes, we may make mistakes, or break, or suffer, but regroup and embrace passion and life.

Dig it.

Don't worry too much about the grammar. I don't see anything "irregular" here.
My old prof once told me a poem either needs to be fully punctuated and grammatical or not at all, and this might fall into the latter.

Either, poems can create their own grammar.

Good stuff.

you've gone daft as dada! The musicality definitely leans towards a rappy type of metre, and in terms of grammar (call it dada, and you don't need to worry too much about grammar, just sound), because the lines are understandable, the stanzas are understandable as a whole, but what the entire message is? I think I gotta think it out again! but well done! I much enjoyed this. Kind of had the vibe of Bob Dylan's "It's All Right, Ma" (the verses, at least).
