Searching...

handsomerose

Searching for something that doesn’t exist 

To fill a void left by prejudice and greed

 

Caged inside painful bars of the past 

Built by the subconscious of a childhood mind 

 

You don’t see this pain, you think you understand it 

One glimpse inside this mind, will leave you dumbfounded 

 

The fight must go on while this onion is peeled 

But you know that your weapon is damaged and weak 

 

There is no training for this action 

Return to the time that inflicted the damage 

 

Keep trying...

Keep searching...
