These Are the Seeds I've Sown

I'm in the hell,

I made my own.

The tolling bell,

My one true home.

I searched for more

It's all I've known.

I'm not enough,

These are

The seeds

I've sown.

~

A crippled heart,

A tortured teen,

The bloodstained dart,

The metal sheen,

The dreams I dreamed,

Weren't what they seemed,

There's joy for thee,

Just not for me.

~

I saw the stars,

I heard them scream,

I smelled the smoke,

I felt the seams

Tear open wide

Beneath my feet,

A burning tide,

A magma sheet.

~

I reached too high,

I shot too far,

I touched the sky,

Then felt the guard

Invisible, a solid gate,

A darker and more lonely fate.

~

The flaming clouds,

They singed my hair,

The fire scorched

My skin so fair,

The spires of stone

Sliced through my bones

And stole

My only

Smile.

Author Notes: I feel like I'll never be enough.
