May 2013
Opening unaware eyes
Staring into the sad reflection
Every aspect a reason to cry
Made up of imperfections

Every fight and every beating
Every tear and cry
Left bleeding
Why do I try?

Every failure and regret
Every cut every bruise
Every reason I wept
I always lose

Remains of hair that used to flow
A dried up memory of the vivid glow
Every scar against broken skin
Every battle I will never win

Every word burnt into my being
Eyes unsure of seeing
Eyes left dull green bleeding
A strong soul left fleeting

History just keeps repeating
