Wounds by: Luis V


Wounds by: Luis V

Wounds I have to many

I just want to be healed

I just want to forget

I just want to be happy

I just want to live my life with a smile on my face again

I want to get out of this dark hole that I’ve dug for myself

I just want to run back into the arms of my creator 

I just want these wounds to be gone

I have these scars all over my body

These scars all have a story to tell

I wear my feelings like they are clothes 

And people take advantage of me and backstab me

I hate it when people do that to me 

It just makes me feel like I’m nothing 

It just makes me feel like people are only using me

I haven’t hugged a girl since Lizzy killed herself

I mean I’ve hugged only one girl after that but its been 7 years without hugging a girl

But those 7 years are over because that girl that hugged me now hugs me everyday

She tells me that everything is going to be okay

She tells me that I should stop looking over my shoulder 

She said she knows my pain and feels it whenever she gives me a hug

I told her I’ll try but its not going to be easy

Lizzy look what my life has become 

It became a crashing airplane 

At any moment this airplane is going to crash and explode 

But I refuse for it to explode 

I am not going down without a fight

I try my best to steer the plane 

But the plane is all busted 

Ever since I got that hug from that girl

I feel at peace 

Because that girl is exactly like lizzy 

But it kind of hurts me too because I’m trying to forget about you lizzy 

I talk to you everyday on the way to school 

And I feel like I only have good days at school because of you Lizzy.

I feel like your protecting me 

I feel like your watching over me

I feel like you are still here even though you are not

All I’m saying is that these wounds need to GO NOW!
