Living in a dream state
never admitting to this second face
spewing his venom with a vengeance

such hate filled words flow with ease
only needing attention of the elders
screams of rage are ignored

taken away by misunderstanding
anger lights his world


having to accept the blame
my head hangs in shame
thoughts of the past

breaks my heart like shattered glass
my only hope lies in forgiveness
but apology is my weakness

left standing with open arms
left empty with bleeding scars
