My silent streams (one with my tears)

If you could tear my heart open,

You’d see a thousand and one tears,

Broken dreams, laid to rest,

Darkness and fears,

It beats because it must,

And I wonder if God hears,

The silent murmurs of this broken heart,

From my lips, to God’s ears

Oh how life sears,

Oh how life sears,

Oh how life has made me,

One with my tears,

My silent streams,

My tarnished waterfalls,

Adulterated,

Uninhibited,

From broken dreams,

And muffled calls,

Sadness unabated…

A soul defeated

And if you taste the bitterness,

That embellishes my song,

You’d quit wondering,

Why I sing like I belong,

On a stage somewhere,

It’s just the outpouring of my soul,

That has grown weary with many a care,

That has forgotten to be whole,

Oh how life sears,

Oh how life sears,

Oh how life has made me,

One with my tears,

I have learned...that a hurricane is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain, 

and i have learned, that sometimes a scar is a necessary stain, 

to remind you that you stood strong through the rain, 

that you are resilient enough...that every lesson learned is wisdom you gain

My silent streams,

My tarnished waterfalls,

Adulterated,

Uninhibited,

From broken dreams,

And muffled calls,

Sadness unabated…

A soul defeated.
