Nomad

Insanity is a funny thing. It's deep inside your soul

a corruption that manifests until the day you become whole

so many adjectives to describe a girl who lives inside her heart

a girl who wanted nothing more then a smile or kind remark.

a girl who did her best to love everyone from the start.

never comprehending the negativity that was returned

not seeing all the variables that work to make the world so cold

a world where hearts are cracking, its a natural disaster.

uncommon for the girl who dwells in the heart that is her master.

but even for a heart so strong the world is stronger still

hits from every angle were bound to break her will

and through all the despair and pain, that applaud while she burns

An entertaining show, but some still want their money returned

Its the system of our kind to build and break our neighbors

and she's breathing shallow breaths, pleading for a favor

anyone to help her, someone to be kind and care

familiar faces avoid her eyes, noses turned in the air

and as her knees buckle, face hits the pavement

through teary eyes of lost self worth, she sees distant movement

familiar shoes approaching, now strong arms pull her off the floor.

carrying her to safety, where she'd be hurt no more.

she knows this scent, seen these scarred up hands.

She looks in his eyes and see's her heart in this man

remembering all the things that used to make her smile

fond memories with this man, from when he was a child

a gust of wind makes her shiver, but in these arms she's whole

It's recognition of the sanity in a reflection of her soul.
