Sunshine Scars
Sunshine scars across my eyes,
I've been staring at the day too long
In the hope I could delay the night,
I don't want to have to ever sleep,
I want to keep awake all of the time -
I've lost hours, days and years
Lying comatose here,
In an unhealthy rest that does not benefit
Anything, justs feeds my fear of passing time.
All the things I Could Have Done
Are lined up in single file
To throw their jeers at me,
Here in my china world.
I was a young girl, but now I'm grown
And age has made me fragile,
And fed my insecurity,
Where is the confident child that had no care?
I sense her standing there, behind the light
In the window frame, a frown upon her face,
Watching this stranger take her place,
This woman with her sunshine scars
And regretted days.
