Wounded healer
Stabbed in the back but still shows up
Legs taken away but he still walks forward
How do you help others when you can't yourself
How do you still smile when you can't get any relief
Offers hope but feels hopeless
Offers encouragement but is discouraged
The more steps taken the deeper the knife is driven
The darkness is painted over with a vibrant paintbrush
The more the brush covers the more his heart is helped
The smile forcefully appears on his face
He gives his advice
See's the paint thinning
He Tastes the disappointment reluctantly
Like a lioness missing her hunt
He can't hold on to the paint as it disappears
And he's with his depression looking even more clearer
Life isn't fair to anyone
he had to learn the hard way
They want more to right their wrongs
And he wanted more for what he's paying
