Poetry, Art, Life

Pain tears me up inside
So strong I can’t even describe
It eats at me from the inside out
And brings a head to all my doubts
Everything I want in life
I see drifting along like a piece of spice
It dangles itself before
Opens its mouth
And with its mocking words
Gives a harsh face to all my fears
“Nothing deserved
Nothing given
The emptiness in you
Is the only thing living
You reap what you sow
And gain through belief
But nothing you’ve done
Deserves such relief.”
A taunt of disbelief
That I will ever reach
Goals in my life that laugh at me
For even thinking I can dream
And anything in life
Will ever come to me

I feel so trapped
The bars are climbing the sky
I need freedom to breathe
And to not live a lie
Turmoil and pain
I fight with myself
Longing for the day
To fly for myself
I need freedom to breathe
And a line to hang onto
That leads to somewhere
Over the rainbow
A chance to let go
And fly through the sky
Reaching for a pot of gold
And living like I’ll never grow old
The freedom to breathe
Leads to a life of forgiveness
And a way to say goodbye
To the lies I had to live
And the love I could never give
