Mental Scars


The meaning of life is unknown,Caring is a trick to hold on. 

When the demands of your world attack, Trying to understand why you were given life

Giving a tear to show you can still feel

Fighting your mind and its overwhelming fear.

To see yourself in other places and believe you cant make it

Touching the scars to visit your fame

Burning your eyes to seek out attention

Tasting the blood ripped from your life

Yes, the meaning of life is unknown
