Shorts

Soulless

Cold

Deserted

To scared to open up my closet

Just so you can laugh at my skeletons

You hear those screams at night?

They get louder every minute

It bleeds ears, but is music to mine

It means that I'm not alone

You look at me like a freak nature

But am I really?

Isn't this the new normal

I'm just a tattered soul

Walking the tight-rope we call life

I've seen so many things it makes the blind shield their eyes

I've heard so many things it makes the deaf cry for silence

I'm a tattered soul nothing could fix me up

Not even sewing together the pieces that have fallen

You look at me like I'm a freak

But it's just the devil in disguise

You say I'm a clown

I hide behind my jokes

The smile on my face is so big the Cheshire Cat gets jealous

But it's just fake

I was left behind for dead

But that's what I already am

I'm just a parasite living in your mind

Hoping to be remembered

Instead of just sitting there

You want me to stay

But instead your letting me waste away

Can you those screams?

It's music to my ears

I'm not talking though chime bells

I'm talking through tears

You say you know me

Do you really?

You see me, but it's not real

I'm actually the devil in disguise

These eyes you stare at

Are nothing but pits of black

Their like an abyss, always with a beginning

But never an end

I'm a tattered soul left to be fixed

But I'm guessing the puppet master forgot me instead

Left behind in the dust

Waiting for the wind to pick up

Theirs no help for this defenseless soul

You cover my skin in kisses

While I cover it with scars

Saying I'm beautiful

So I'll spit on the reflection

I break out the courage to ask for love

I'll speak up but my mouths sewed shut

My screams fall on deaf ears praying for listeners
