I take the pain you left me with,
and make it into art.
The only thing left of me,
is this ugly scar.
I've put a noose around my heart,
It's trying to restart,
and forget all the things that have torn it apart.
The only way I can be smart is to keep you away from me,
but you're embedded in my soul,
you make me bleed,
from the inside out,
leaving me with my heart as dark as coal,
and a dying soul.
I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,
the slide of my finger against the screen,
the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,
artificial noise.
Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,
playing in the soft mud of the Earth,
full of joy.
Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,
blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.
Pledge your life to liberty and justice,
raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,
who are you protecting though?
I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,
children,
