what are scars
where do they come from
why do they grow
shine bright like stars
in the open for the world to know
what is life
and why do we live it
why endure the struggle and stress
to end up covered in dirt
in a dark eternal bed
what is love
and why do we feel it
a force so strong to bind
and destructive when it breaks
something so easily found
so easily lost
that brings the scars
and for some the finding of an end
why do it
why do it at all
why stay here and just spin around
why struggle yearn and fight
when what’s easier and better
is just to say goodnight
for there’s nothing more that’s out there
nothing left when you close your eyes
the scars and life and love we gained
disappears where there is no light
so why then friend
should i keep up this fight
for deceptive is the thought
that makes me yearn to
and deep down i know it’s true
the light is brought by you
but if i cannot find it
then what id do is live only for you
and that’s not fair, not ok, not right
you aren’t the one who’s having to fight
and why drag you down
to my place without light
when you yourself have found out
clung hard and strong and won
where i cannot
so what is my life
but one long endless battle
part of a war i’m tired of waging
a struggle not worth so much might.
so tonight part of me dies
and with it the light behind my eyes
i give in and i give up
i pray it’s finally quiet
i go on now with that hope.
