Hit So Hard
dark horizon
blew in
strong
and down
came the rooftops
soft
heart
got
hit
so
hard
bleed into
the floor
flooded rooms
became the norm
we swim in blood
Icy water
saturates
the soul
we burn in tears
I moved slowly into the open
ran blind into the briar
I bled forth across the trail
and was punished in the storm
your abuse made me collect rain drops
I tried to study their design
I tortured myself
rammed my ******* head into it all!!!
told myself every horrible thing you could possibly imagine
I put my fury in a box
sealed it up and buried it.
Later on I went back and dug it up
when I opened it up
I felt it nuke my ******* face off
I ran around lost in notebooks
my skeleton laid bare....
I tried to overcome my defeat with words
soft heart gets hit so hard
my hostility could have blown the world apart
a thousand times over
dark
horizon
blew
in
strong
and
became
my
voice
of
war!!!
I struggled to maintain it
found outlets
for brutality
I reasoned through the madness
until
dark
horizon
blew
away......
light horizon opened up
and
showed
the
way
found strength
in
dark
horizon
drew steel
from yesterday's tears
and leaned them around my heart
protect and fortify the palace
There's no way you can hurt me now
place your hand upon a friend,
pick your broken heart up off the floor,
trace your deepest scars with a finger in the dark- remember what it gave you?
iron strength to face the world.
solid courage to endure it all.
go ahead and attack me with your ****** up words
and I'll head ****
you back to God.
