Window Pain

written by: OurSacredHonor

Something grows inside of me
Something hidden, that you can't see
This window pain opens slowly
But it's tinted, opaque, no transparency

This window pain strikes deep into my heart
I left myself vulnerable to fall apart
Only from the inside though, don't know where to start
To fix all my problems, so liquid sour yet sharp as a dart

A window pain
In my brain
Drives me insane
This day is the same
As a million I've lived before
I'm so sore
It has bore
A hole to my core
Tearing me up from the inside
Destroying my pride
Somebody lied
When they said I could confide
In myself
Nobody else
Put friends on the shelf
All you need is your wealth
They fed that to me through my open window
I was a fool then though
I've learned since then so
I guess they'll be surprised to find out I know
What I need
To succeed
Don't heed
To greed
Just proceed
To the checkout
And let out
Everything that I've kept bottled up
I'm fed up
And had it up to here
With this senseless fear
It's time to adhere
To my morals and the friends I hold dear
They are always sincere
Once blurry now made clear
This window pain has to be closed
It was a weakness exploited by all who opposed
This window pain was predisposed
To let them all in, to hurt me I suppose

Something grows inside of me
Something hidden, that you can't see
This window pain opens slowly
But it's tinted, opaque, no transparency

This window pain strikes deep into my heart
I left myself vulnerable to fall apart
Only from the inside though, don't know where to start
To fix all my problems, so liquid sour yet sharp as a dart

Seal it shut
No ifs, ands, or buts
I've had enough
Just shut it up
Falling slowly like a fading mist
The shattered glass from a clenched fist
So people can once more see what they've missed
The man she loved that she first kissed
I've returned
To burn
The shards
I've worked so hard
Can't lose it all now
But how
Did it come to this anyway?
Where'd I go wrong?
Has this window pain been there all along?
Questions unanswered time will reveal
Resolutions unveiled to problems once concealed

Something grows inside of me
Something hidden, that you can't see
This window pain opens slowly
But it's tinted, opaque, no transparency

This window pain strikes deep into my heart
I left myself vulnerable to fall apart
Only from the inside though, don't know where to start
To fix all my problems, so liquid sour yet sharp as a dart

Something broken inside of me
Visible now for all to see
This window pain opens slowly
Truth revealed in all it's clarity
