Impure - by Erik Smith
Why
can't I be happy
How come it has to be like this
I was happy once
I can't always reminisce
I take comfort in my headphones
Pounding Nails into my soul
I write my poems and create this art
For this moment I feel whole
Every time this happens though
No matter what I do
No matter how hard I try to protect myself
It leaves another mark
Forces on another toll
Everything is getting old
Purity keeps leaving me
Pets and loved ones dying fleeing
My heart can't take anymore
Yet it keeps on living breathing
The more I hurt the more I live
The stronger I get the more I feel pain
Please let me keep getting stronger
I fear I can't last much longer
