Lift Thyself

by Hearthrob

May 8, 2020

Slivers of deep regret
held tightly within its grip
bound by scars of suffering
molded to thy hip

Such punishment endured
deny empathy insane
a crushed state of mind
to eternally remain

A self inflicted complication
blinded by emotions
transparent weighted anchors
gave false pretense a notion

That there is nothing else
just heartache and pain
better off down in a dumps
than to live again

Nothing's further from the truth
time to pick thyself up
grab a rebound
and start fresh without a doubt

Time heals all wounds
just be patient to wait
one must 1st forgive themselves
no one's perfect now these days
