Lifeless eyes.

Life apart,

Endless lies.

Soul in pain,

Anger flung,

Nothing to gain,

Hurt for so long.

Open my eyes,

To see the joys.

Forget the lies,

Emotions are toys.

Straighten my shoulders,

Harden my heart.

Remind me of others,

Whole after being torn apart.

Tell me of the love of life,

Let me enjoy the smell of grass.

Love without strife,

This too shall pass.

Look back to the days of smiles,

Laughter ringing out.

Life has traveled many miles.

Love is all about.

Show me the simple things,

The flowers, birds and trees.

Friendships loving strings,

Giving me ease.

Let my heart be free,

Untethered and wild.

Things I have to see,

Life to be held.

Life,

Anew.

Love,

Renew.
