Change

The tears that flow through my cheeks hurt
Like poison penetrating within.
How can water be pain?
To this fragile skin.

Pieces of a broken body stood strong
Behind fake smiles
Like cheap parquet tiles
Scratched over time

How long can it pretend?
Oh it will soon end
When scars of life decide
To no longer hide

What's left in this soul of mine
Are mere shadows of what was behind
Now I look at myself in despise
How do I live with all the lies?

Friends or foes I can no longer see
For their pretentious eyes hold dark secrets to me
Voices of evil whispering as I make my way
Of life's cruel game they want me to play

Should I follow the act and lose all I've got?
Or stand on this ground,
be with the odds?

But what will happen then?
Will I find myself again?

I can't blame life for taking away
The innocence
The shattered dreams of a fairy tale

It's time to grow up

Please tell me what you think
