Looking at the world around me, I was struck by how much the saying the pen is mightier than the sword still holds true. Sometimes all that is needed to break someone is a word or an action at their sensitive spot. It all seems like a chess board where individuals are manipulated and their vulnerability exploited. If a pawn on the board could say it all he would sound something like this...
I sit alone today thinking back to those words
Wondering how on earth had they turned to swords
Bewildered at the still glistening fresh blood I glance
My pen perched on the parchment in a warrior stance
The feelings to share and my heart’s desire to express
The world has now taught me I will have to repress
I had waited an eternity to let down my guard and be heard
Turned out to be the gullible lamb, believed in the shepherd
The hurt and betrayal has left me shocked, I’m still in a
trance
When just yesterday I had on him taken a trusting chance
The feelings to share and my heart’s desire to express
The world has now taught me I will have to repress
Today the wound has healed a bit, but battle embittered
My scarred soul, has led to being the lone warrior preferred
They ask me to let go of the past, embrace lives beautiful
elegance
But how do I defeat the fear of past, approach any new experience
The feelings to share and my heart’s desire to express
The world has now taught me I will have to repress
Gather up my courage, bolstered by you into letting down my
guard
Disregard the misgivings but trudging on proves to be real
hard
I hope against hope that you have not lured me out under
false pretense
Place myself in your care, hope to heal and cherishing
life along the distance
Coz the feelings to share and my heart’s desire to express
The world had taught me I will have to repress
i like the metaphor :)
