AL17

Not mine

I try not to think too much

Of what would be my life’s real role

if your wars hadn’t burned to ashes

The jungles of my soul

 

You say that this is but a brief struggle

And that the fear, with all, will pass

But will you never understand

That you can’t mend shattered glass?

 

Your hatred crashes like rough waves

Onto the seashells of my mind

And you lie that it’s all for my sake

But this fight is yours, not mine.
