Inner child

A broken child cries within
Slumped shoulders and scarred skin
Emotionless face of self control
A tortured heart with a battered soul

Restless sleep and troubled days
Going through life in a constant haze
Another soul without hope
That turns to alcohol and dope

Just a child of the darkness
Living among the heartless
Forgotten and alone
With nowhere to call home

A bloody razor in each hand
A life without a prayer or plan
One consumed by overwhelming pain
Who's eyes are dry but heart is stained

Just a child of the darkness
Living among the heartless
Forgotten and alone
With nowhere to call home
