Soul so beautiful
Oh soul, so light, so beautiful
This world is just too much for you
Your feet are treading softly
On broken glass
The pain seeps from your skin
Your eyes flicker of the sadness within
As you clamber to hold
on to the day
The mind is a wild garden
over grown, lost, forgotten
bird songs echo of
the silent tears you weep
