I won't cry over tomorrow's tears,
Wishing away all my deepest, dark fears.
Losing myself,drowning in the madness,
Trying to fill an empty cup, only full of sadness.
Put on a smile, laugh, it all will be okay,
Pain to be documented
for the sake of civilization.
Pain, language of the unspoken,
censored, plugged and precluded.
Pain of mothers daughters and lovers,
of sons, fathers and admirers.
Woah to me, the weary traveller,
Lost at sea inside my head,
Drinking down the endless brew
Of all the brine and things you said.
I am a sopping sort of sailor
Drowning in the loss of you
To care for their children, my big brother and me,
My parents would willingly part a raging sea,
The modern-day Byzantine icons, living, breathing saints,
A slash to my youth, their troubled life taints.
There’s a phrase I heard when I was young
I heard it whispered off a tongue
I don’t quite know where it came from
But it touched my soul when I was young
The phrase was short but sugar sweet
this letter is me saying goodbye.
this letter is everything i couldn't say
when you were in my room that night
when i asked you to stop
to leave me alone
and you persisted
in touching me
Hurt within,
Never spoke,
Didn't tell me,
What it desired,
Tiredness and pain,
Growing up with this,
Never realising,
Life isn't just like this.
Call the men and arm the guns,
For a revolution has just begun.
A secession has taken place,
Yet it is in the spot behind my face.
