All That Is Seen

on December 16th, 2009 by Rae

Memories too stubborn to leave or last
Memories too stubborn to leave or last
And days that were kind enough to pass
Now our looking glass is stained and broken
And so many lies are still being spoken
By the untrusting ghosts of our past

All while lacking the comprehension
Failures seemed to get all the attention
Self-worth deteriorates and is almost gone
Due to false conclusions being drawn
And our strong powers of retention

We try to learn where the line does lie
It’s hard to find but we continue to try
When it’s found it’s sometimes too late
Then we’re supposed to accept our fate
Instead we attempt to turn a blind eye

Energy is wasted wanting to settle scores
And all that remains are scarred doors
Battles are fought with shame-based rage
But from these fights that we did wage
More spoils remain from internal wars

We learn contempt increases vulnerability
And that emotion obscures our visibility
We want to put off the future for a day
And we’re wishing the past would not stay
But have learned that it’s an impossibility

All that is seen is seen upside down
Burden’s carried drag to the ground
Tears fall in ashes of bridges burned
The day ends dismissing what’s learned
While losing sight of the thorny crown
