My Aching Chest
Location
The earth’s crust cracks
The hot lava deep from inside writhes in aching pain,
Striving for a release
My face crumbles in agony as I see the cruelty rein on
My heart beats strong
For I know it takes but one person to change what is wrong
But courage is harder than it looks
To make your soul an open book
Is truly a gift not many posses
Simply accept someone into your chest
And let god do all the rest
