Counting Scars
Counting 1 to 10
Didn't get past no further than 5
It's in the weight of addition
1 being the start
2 tearing my legs apart
3 breaking my heart open wide
4 facing my demise
5 to brave my demons
Crippling and witty A funny twist Unpredictable deceptive,
A story with neither a
Protagonist or hero
Always a battle to be fought
Always a heart to break
We all want that hero
To light up our eyes
To find the hope in the bottom
Where everything decays.
Flying with broken wings
Loving with a broken heart
Living with countless scars
Letting the next one in.
