Head Up High

the once beating heart
is silenced and slowed
to a steady pace
that oozes hatred

this once unbroken heart
sits in pieces on the floor
collecting dust
but dont let that distract you

let the time drift on by
the sun turning the papers yellow
the water leaves mark
the wind breaks down the trees

throughout everything
that transpired
i still have a lot
to say to you

dirty, rotten
selfish and forgotten
i still hold my head up high
while giving away my soul

no matter how much the rain
pours down on me
trying to stop me from
keeping my head held high

I will keep it raised
if only for you
I will keep it raised
if only for me

Author notes

Something that bubbled out of me.

    Very raw and sorrowful. I loved the way you picture someone's endless struggle to give despite the rough journey or outcome. Thanks for sharing
