PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Words turn to lyrics from the scars on my skin

I belt out loud the teary words of sin

I sink deeper within myself

Those emotions I put up on a shelf

They come tumbling down upon my head

Bringing back words I don’t believe I said

I fight through the chorus till I’m drowned out by the bass

I hardly recognize the hollows of my own face

The mirror is only a deception

All I care about is your perception

But there is no approval to be found

Societal constraints keep me bound

Bound from letting the darkness out

Quieted into submission my tone is filled with doubt

Music to ease the troubled mind

In the noise my center I will find

Before you know it the song is over

I must steel my face sober

But with the bottle by side

Liquid courage won’t let me hide

So I take gulp and then another three

Who cares what happens to me

I rise from where I fell

Time to go out and face living hell

Where is my lace where is my leather

I must bind these emotions to keep it together

Next my spikes and my metal chains

This is the me that always remains

Return to the darkness forsake the light

I am a creature of the night

I will sing the sirens song

Long after the stars are gone

Don’t ask how I got this way

There is nothing to say

I could blame a man or a whole species

Truth is that’s what happens when the hearts in pieces

So here I am and there you go

I’m ready for the next show

This will be my very best act yet

Part 3 of living life with no regret
