Literature Text

do you ever think

you never want

to heal


because within the healing

all the pain

becomes too real


do you ever wish

that you didn't

have to deal


because in all the dealing

means you're gonna

have to feel


there are times I wish

that I just had

to sleep


when I'm mired in my own mind

and the depression's just

too deep


yes I am aware of all my

failings

but god willing I will find a way

to stop the sky from

hailing

down


someday I'll drink

the waters calm and

clear


and god willing you and I and they

will all of us

be here


someday all of these scars

will have been

faded


til then to keep on going, living, breathing

I've been

fated


someday I'm gonna bang a big brass drum

to tell everyone around me that

my kingdom's finally come


someday I'm gonna sing with my whole chest

until that blessed day arrives

I'll try and get myself some rest


one day you'll see me standing in the sun

a crown of roses and a smile,

untouchable,

and you'll understand how I've won


someday I'll nod and you'll understand my heart

may that knowledge bring you peace

on the day that we must part


someday I'll nod and finally understand

come to stand along beside you

and offer you my hand


the pair of us, just standing in the sun

it's all I've ever wanted

that's how I'll know that I've

won


a bard could sing, a never ending tale

one with heroes, demons, monsters

and a staggering sense of scale


but you and I, we know I'm just a lass

and I whisper in the darkness that

I know this, too, shall pass

I've been writing a lot of pseudo-song lyrics again lately and these just kind of struck me enough to post.  Nothing super special but one of those things I might record properly some day.
