Wretched Brave

Wretched Brave

Yellow beams of sunlight drifting
Crossing patterns on my lawn
Rising from the sea stone glass
Towards the breaking dawn

Frosted gleams for laser beams
A shimmered burning in my heart
I walked into my garden bed
And the world frozen, fell apart

Shout it out, the pains
not yours to bear
Scream through it, they'll never
Show they care


The stunted growth of human seeds
Sunlight kills them all around me
Metal trees with ocean steam
Murky death revealed setting free

Birds and dogs, the cats and mice
Burning to escape inside
Slam shut the door to pushing freedom
The eject button on reality's ride

Shout it out the pains
not yours to bear
Scream through it, they'll never
Show they care


Author Note: This one was written as a song but since I have no idea how to write music for it...the idea quickly died. I think it still works well as just a poem and its one of the few that I always come back to with new ideas on how to word certain phrases.
