Wild and Scarred



Silver droplets of the shattered prism
of sadness drench my smile.

All who swim in the ocean of light
hold their pain close... "Midnight Dreaming."

Though the noise of the bustling city may sneak up
and knock on the door of my memory,

I don't want to be defeated
by the speed of time.

Therefore, I will now change teardrops into bravery,
and run off, because I was born with a wild heart.

On a peeling movie poster, pelted by rain,
the hero levels his gun at the darkness.

I want a soul that won't be swept away
by loneliness... "Midnight Flying."

Everyone overcomes unseen walls
in the search for love.

Remember things that hurt and you will
come to know true tenderness.

"Never mind..." I will fly with scarred wings,
because I was born with a wild heart.

Everyone overcomes unseen walls
in the search for love.

Remember things that hurt and you will
come to know true tenderness.

"Never mind..." I will fly with scarred wings,
because I was born with a wild heart.
