The Strength Prevails
Permanent scars penetrate the soul
As eyes stare into the overcast world outside these wretched walls
Screams build up inside the mind but never enough to break through the armored body
A sea of depression is on the horizon, becoming clearer with each waking moment
Feet dangle off the rugged cliffs while calls of the wild howl from deep in the forest
Tortured feelings beaten down by words that strike the heart
Eventually numbness settles in to comfort the aching soul
Through it all, strength prevails
Through the thoughts crashing like brutal waves against the rocky shore
Masking the depression stricken tears sure enough becomes second nature
