Beyond Words
My heart and my mind are at war everyday.
But my lips remain silent because what can I say.
I can't put words to what's there as the smoke clears.
And I won't share with others it'll just fall on deaf ears.
My soul screams in braille, only seen by the blind.
The rhythm of my heart beats but never in time.
My knees are both broken from the prayers for salvation.
My breath proves I live though it longs for cessation.
My smile is a farce meant to limit the worry.
If I said I was happy Id be committing perjury.
Battles taking their toll and my hopes all but gone.
Telling all those that love me that they'll learn to move on.
Will I ever find peace as I walk on this plane?
I was once called a saint but that title's inane.
I don't want the world, just a place to call home.
Even though I'm quite sure I'll just be there alone.
