The paper thin layers of
mistrust
Peel away
Flaking and cracking around our
feet
A smile could be hurtful
A friend can betray
Words are stains on a heart
That can never be erased
Restless we lay
Recounting those days
Before the smiles faded away
Tender and young
With the lights in our eyes
Shinning like brilliant stars
Glistening waters
Some things are what they
should be
Nothing more but always something
less
Resting on hope
That tomorrow will bring
something better
That time will somehow become
slower
We will have more space to run
And experience the dreams
That wakes us from our restless
sleep
That yesterday can be left
behind
Shedding our pain
Leaving our disappointments
For another to carry on
To wrestle with themselves
The right and the wrong
The dark to the light
To survive
When everything screams to
give up
Sometimes pain wreaks us
Other times the weakness
becomes strength
When we most need it
