These hands were meant for clasping,
Free from prejudice' voice so rasping.
Tightly with another's;
A friend or maybe lover's,
Fingers intertwined;
Body soul and mind.
These hands were made to be painted
By an artist's mind untainted
By the voices all around
Calling her unsound.
Beating down her will,
To fight the role that she must fill.
These hands were meant for drying
Her child's face that has been crying.
She cannot comprehend
Why their war will never end.
Taking lives but leaving hearts
Brutally mamed and torn apart.
These hands were meant for breaking
The hold her shackled life is taking.
Too young to be on the str
There is so much I want to say
But so much I just can't do,
Trapped - I fight beneath the sand
Almost as if I knew
This wretched day was going to come
Where I am slowly swallowed whole,
It eats my insides and my flesh
But leaves my broken soul.
Never can I drop my guard
'Cause then the world would see,
Shards of mask falling to the ground
And the hero born inside of me.
Too good to be a failure
'Tis the beholder with the eye,
We shouldn't let imperfections
Steal the stars out of the sky!
Quiet as she keeps herself
Bright she doth remain,
Her passion leaks out through the seams
Withstanding no restrain.
When she smiles or laughs out loud
All witnesses will agree:
That moment of unmirrored ease
Has no parallel, you see.
She does not hold herself up high
Her head is bowed down low,
Never did you see a gentler soul
Possessing such a glow!
No tribute could ever monument
All she brings into my life,
Not even the trillion twinkling stars
That blanket the sky at night.
Looking up at a world that stares down at me
With eyes of fire, they never will see.
Crumpled and scarred, both inside and out
Not wanting to cry, but wanting to shout
To a world so cruel, "Have what you will!
A laugh! A sight!", but mocking me still
You steal my life, all in good fun
You chase me down, though I may run.
Inescapable is this ball and chain
The shallow source of all my pain.
I grow so tired of trying to fight
The surrender of love to the power of sight.
Doomed to wander this Earth alone
A fate so sealed by hearts of stone.
Though a small light shines from deep within
A saving grace, in a world so dim.
A Saviour
