These words are my best friends My saving grace The only thing that Saves me from Myself And my darkest face... I trudge through this muddy mess I call my life The truth laid plain on my ****** dress I should know I wield the knife... I write when I don't have the courage To speak Some call this art Some call this lame Some call this weak... But there is a beauty in the silence The way your eyes read the words That your ears can't hear... But sometimes I wonder why I'm alive when There are so many others More deserving of the space I use More deserving of the life I abuse... And I turn to my only friends, these words The only true friends that I deserve.
