Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Leonardo da Vinci

Exposed

Let me try tell you, the emotions I lack
I look at the past, can’t bring it back
My heart so wretched, the hurt inside
The anger within, my suffering pride
My feelings expressed, in one long line
A hurt bereft, across the lost time

You want me to cut myself to see how I bleed
Want me to lie down and cry for the freed
Want to see me fight for the poor
Want me to cast myself and see what I lure
Want me to shove away the shadows and regrets
Want me to stop placing and losing my bets

The anger recedes, it is clear again
I was to blame, for the shifting lane
You had to go, and leave me alone
Upon the alter I lay, to the world, I was shown

Some must see the cold twisted hate
Within the insides of me, for me there is no clean slate
You watch with a cold look in your eyes
You see me laid bare and more
You see my demise
And finally, my fall
