Invisible Scars
I try so so hard,
But you wont let me forget,
And thats all I want,
To forget you and all you are.
I need you like I need to breathe,
But you're strangling the life out of me,
Fingers pressed to flesh,
Violence etched into my skin.
So I run, I run
From you and from myself,
Breaking the mirror,
That reflects the pain inside.
I breathe as deeply as I can,
My lungs burning like my love for you.
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
