Wounds That Won't Heal

I feel like I've lifted a bit
From the gloom that I felt
Like the whole world could melt
And I wouldn't care less
What a mess
That I find myself in
And how difficult it's been
To feel real
As I press on the wounds
That won't heal
If I let them
They will weep
I continue to lose sleep
It's all there in my head
As I lie in my bed
I try to breathe in the night
Let my thoughts become light
As they drift through my mind
And my heaven I will find
If I look
In a book
Will it tell me how to feel
When the whole thing is wrong
When my spirit is gone
I don't think so
And I cry
For my loss
Won't you try
To understand
How it feels in this
Empty, barren land
That is home as I know it
But it's not it
I have blown it
At least for today
When will it go away
