It hurts
when I look
at me
when I see
all my fractured thoughts
within
my heart
that I didn't believe
my heart
that believed
in me
my heart
that tried
to set me free
my heart
that I broke
on a whim
my heart
that now screams
deep within
me

Where is the honor
fighting
for a country
where your women
and your children
cannot even
walk their streets
without fear
Where is the honor
fighting
for a government
that gives you
nothing
but pious words
nothing
but a park bench
cardboard blanket
and a hard pillow
for your wounds
Where is the honor
when you shout
those hollow words
for freedom
for justice
for liberty

Your heart
does not
really break
shatter
or become insane
it is your mind
that breaks the chains
that trys to hold you
in a loving embrace
within a heart
that is stronger
then the fears
that you face

Tell me
what would you do
if you knew
that I was
would you scream
would you shout
would you hurt
me
inside
I am broken
outside
all that you will see
is a sad tired lonely smile
as I pack my bags
to go
to another place
and where ever I land
it will be then
I will have to decide
do I stay
to try
with all the pain
that it brings
to put back together
my broken fractured
wings
or just leave
my body
and my feelings
behind

It is not the point
how many have dipped
into your well
of desperate dreams
it doesn't matter
how many have laid
close to your skin
the point is
would you
let one climb
under it
to feel
what one believes
within your fractured
fragmented
feelings
you shine
with all the things
that we need

Is it not
a line
that you draw
when you blindly ignore
the pleading
that resides
deep within your mind
that has a dieing need
to touch
the fear
that you keep
when you sleep
with the hidden thoughts
that weep

It is hard
to watch a friend
walking the path
of a fragmented mind
while sitting here
on this beach
of sorrow
gazing out
onto a sea
of my tears
watching someone
who has become
more than a friend
walk the path
alone

How many times
have you promised
how many times
have you said
as you once again
look down
on a child
battered and beaten
laying there
on the kitchen floor
trying to protect a mummy
who doesn't want
to be hurt
anymore

Have you ever tried
to smile
with your eyes
to let it be known
that you are
still alive
inside

Can you find
the lines
that you seek
the ones
that can guide you
though the lands
of deceit
the ones
that are hard
to hold
when you are
all alone
hanging by a thread
where common sense
is your only friend
when you try
to follow
your lines of intent

Does honesty
and common sense
still survive
in the crevices
and burrows
in the concrete jungles
where animals
are dressed
as human
where it is
the wolves
who are kings
and the lion
is just
a flea bitten
scabby old cat
hanging around
the garbage bags
where
the lost people
of humanity eat

There is a space
within your place
where
your frightened thoughts
go
hidden behind
a frame of mind
that has
no where else
to go
