ACT OF WAR
An act of war, hate, and frustration
Anger and violence through penetration.
The tears and screams go unheard.
If only they’d listen to the one little word
To re-live that night everyday
To be reminded of it in everyway
When you shower or when you shave
To yourself, you will always be a slave
Your emotions and your life begin to rattle
Every time you think of that battle
You ask yourself, when will this end?
Where was a friend with a shoulder to lend?
This war has gone on and on for years
But is it really worth all of the tears?
Is it worth re-living the pain
Of the night that your childhood was slain
You wish to forgive, but refuse to forget
But sometimes you want nothing to do with it.
You never know how much life means
Until you are laying there listening to your own screams.
Afterwards, all you want is to die
But when it doesn’t work you begin wonder why
You try to start over, starting at the end
Finally looking forward to what’s just around the bend.
Know that you will always have your past
That’s exactly what it is, it doesn’t have to last.
It can never go away, it can never hide
Don’t wear it on your shoulder or have it by your side.
Rise up again and live like the sun
It wasn’t your fault you don’t have to run
Forgive yourself for the little mistakes
You will then see what a difference it makes
You’ll look in the mirror and not shed a tear
You’ll live a great life without all the fear
Turn to your family or to a friend
That is the only way that this war will ever end.
