I scribbled some words on the back of my hand, Reminders to smile for today. Even if the world chose to engulf my happiness The ink of my blood it could not erase. So bent on trying to sort out my life, Calm the tide of emotions within. Leaving the small flame that was burning still, Not knowing it was fading. Too often I've slipped, And grazed my heart. Too often I've exposed my myself, Now it's time to reclaim my soul... It's time I played my part.
