Scarlet Letter
By Eagle
I am a shadow Just a memory of what I used to be Faded and broken on this floor In Tolerant misery It's cold and I don't look like my old self My eyes bloodshot and my skin pale I've done the time but I'm still paying I'm starting to grow weak and frail I am only a trace The ashes left over from my dying self I still have scars on my body That remind the world what lies upon my shelf It's cold nights like these That everything comes full circle again And I start cleaning out my closet It's just filled with things that bring back since lost pain The sky is a dark ebonious shade of crimson And I'm not afraid of wearing my shame like a scarlet letter I'm broken in but I can fend for my own way out I do what I do so all turns out for the better I am struggling to break free I'm a little bit weaker than I used to be But I'm still stronger than most of you We're all locked up but I have a key I've leanred to live with the wrongs I've done Everytime we go back to start I commit another sin I'm not allowed to live and I'm not allowed to die But no one can ever make me lose my freedom within Written February 22nd, 2002 © on Feb 22 2002 03:56 PM PST 18 • 0 • 10
