Mouthless muttering in the dark
You turn on the light
Flinch
It burns your sensitive eyes
You look in the mirror
And see eyes
Wounded by life.
Remember
What happened that day
And what came after that?
Arms of a lost one
Hanging limply
Obeying without thought
Caring no longer
What will happen to you
Scarred
Beaten
Broken.
Face of a dreamer
No longer remembering how to smile
Living more in fantasy
Than everyday life
A place where
You can
Belong.
Legs of a wanderer
Pacing
Pacing
Never ceasing to move
Will you ever find a home
Never
Nevermore.
Eyes of a rebel
Knowing
That life will never go your way
'are you okay?'
I'll never be okay.
Hand of a controller
Always grasping
Seeking to make life
And all its inhabitants
do your bidding
Unknowingly
And you despise it.
Shoulders of tears
Longing to be held
Aching to cry
On someone other than yourself
But you know you can never
Be safe
Again
So you

Great Job! Though this was dark you warned me to get used to your dark pieces. I read some of this and thought of myself. How well some of these verses I fit. Anyway well done. I offer my shoulder to cry on when you need. And maybe one day I can offer you safety as well. Good night, Love. -
