Vent

hurt

oh, sad soul
relax your restless limbs
close your tired eyes
sing me your song of sadness and somber
i feel your pain, I always have
i can see the shadows on the walls

life is hardest on those who shine the brightest
and the light in you is warm, and full
you are a deep symphony of the trauma and love and heartbreak you've been through
and though you're cracked, and scarred
fucked up, bruised, broken
those are also the parts of yourself that make you so profound and significant to the ones lucky enough to meet you

you'll never see truth in my words, and rightfully
but please, hear me, old flame
you're the fireworks in the dark sky
you're the trees that paint the mountain side a brilliant shade of green
you're the fog that kisses the damp morning ground
you are beauty
even though you hurt so deeply
