Inner Peace

The tears roll down my cheek
as the blood runs down my arm.
Why do you constantly push me to this
when its your job to protect me from harm.

All I've ever wanted was to be free,
yet i'm trapped behind these bars.
Each day another line i add,
your love i crave,
but all I receive are scars.

If only you knew the pain you caused me,
both inside and out.
Would you really care,
would it affect the words out of your mouth.

The words you speak, the things you say,
you say without a care.
Why is life so painful, why does God punish me so/
Is it all really fair?

I lie awake at night,
these thoughts racing through my mind.
I reach over in the dark,
and my one lone comfort I find.

The sting, the burn, the pain I instantly feel.
Unlike all things emotional,
this pain feels so real.

If only for an instant,
the words you speak slip from my mind.
For one moment, inner peace I find.
