Inner Struggle

Search your soul
You’ll find a stranger
Walk a mile in her shoes
Bend yourself until it breaks her
The fault falls all on you

Tear your heart
You’ll find an answer
Devoid of reason or of rhyme
Blur the lines  make it easier
Slowly, quietly, lose your mind.

Close your eyes
You’ll find the question
The inner wounds no longer heal
Prices paid but never mentioned
Numbness settles, no longer feel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pierce your soul
Seek out the ruin
Mend what screams into the night
Forfeit pride lost to devotion
Relinquish shadow cling to light.

Rebuild your heart
Atone the wreckage
Sacrifice doubt to regain the sane
Free yourself of mental blockage
Know you will live but never the same

Open your eyes
Reflections before you
Paths not meant to be yours
Borrow back the time that lost you
Remorse may help…but ever cures.
