I've got a bunch of lyrical poetry, partially covered in [another shameless advertising]my artcorner[/another shameless advertising]

This is one I wrote a couple of years ago:


WOUNDED

I've lead a life in a porcelain shell
Thought I was safe, far away from this hell
Then my life changed and the cracks appeared
My shelter broke and the sharves cut my flesh

Now I am wounded
And injured by delay
I feel so helpless
I'm drifting away

I look at you with two different eyes
One blinks with truth and one blinks with lies
I know it's not as bad as it seems
But I can't help all the fear in this mind

'Cause I am wounded
And injured by delay
I remain helpless
I'm drifting away

So what is left
What was never there that should have been?
Is there a point
A point for me to go
And if there is how should I know?

The answer's right here in my head
I feel it pounding kicking screaming
Bleeding 'cause of all it's been through
Held back, misguided, numbed and sore
With the pain I feel
It's calling me, it's calling you
In a desperate attempt to be noticed

One day
..One day..

Wish I wasn't wounded
So I wouldn't have to pay
The price of being helpless
Then I could be just on my way
