Rising Phoenix Posted July 7, 2003 A lonely view stretches from far to near A non-colour grey is all Concrete gardens littered with debris there and here You’d never get up if you were to fall Walking with my head down, I try not to see The dead cats and birds all around Dirt and brown leaves are all that greet me I walk on a pitifully dry ground A peaceful morning is wrecked by loud noise A shock and I’m out of my sleep Someone tells me “They break everything, these boys” I nod, hiding my anger so deep Children’s laughter transforms into jeers Hate and anger in every eye “You fake b*tch!” shouted by my peers Briefly I wish I could die I push the pain down inside me Down there it’s easy to cry And none will guess, none will see Because when you look, my eyes are dry Silence of a calm Sunday’s twilight shatters The screams follow the loud bang Children screech with fright as they scatter The knife falls with a quiet clang I fight for every space on which I walk My life dampened, so is my soul I’m hushed when I try to talk I’m broken, never to be whole I smile grimly as I usher my friend inside Away from prying eyes that wish me unwell “Welcome,” I tell her, when within we hide “Welcome to my hell” ~harmonyangel~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
