Acid rain burns
My serenity to ruin, with just a single drop This hurts, my umbrella of thoughts now this body is nothing but shelter to a, regret, filled soul that's lost These words I'm being called just dwell inside me burying my inner being till I am no longer seen My first cry was like that of a heavenly angel Now the gates are shut on my face, When a river of tears start flowing I slowly submit to the life I'm living Not realizing that I'm losing, myself Instead of rising , I'm sinking Just imagine having to live for the rest of your life bleeding With no mortal to dress your wound, instead you are thrown away in the woods I'm just a young one breaking rules Gone astray when I need to be pulling my life together, instead I have de constructed every wall I built Breaking rules and enjoying deeds that are taboo I grew Acid rain burns © 2015 Vincent Makhathini |
