The Art Of My Pains
The Art of My Pains
The art of my pains
is in the blood stain ink of me
while I write day and night
to give insight of me that bleeds
while the world reads,
this is my own battle cry's
that are left in my mind
I see all the dead souls around me
while I dream darken pains
of those days of rain
that hasn't gone away,
I was born in a painful storm
the memories stayed with me
oh, how the pains had cut me deep
the words that hurt made bigger storms
I hold my breath like I was dead
thinking it would all end,
I now realize as I got older
you cannot fix anyone
that don't want the help
so why in the hell did this life paint me
and put me down into a devastated storm
the past has away to paint my life gray
this is the art of me that bleeds.
