Apathy |
| by Erin Marsh |
|
She Paints inside her soul Visions we cannot see Swallowed up whole In a world we cannot know She dreams, Madness she alone knows She paints A not so pretty picture. A child a sacrifice to some unknown God atonement for sins She never commited She wars Inside a child who should Of been allowed to wear childhood her eyes Stare So young to be so far away I reach out Try and touch your fear Madness dances across her soul She paints A not so pretty Picture. |

I love this poem, I can relate to the girl, an escape from apathy painted on an evanescent canvas.

When ever I witness, read or hear about something like this. It makes me angry to know how helpless a person is in this world, for people who have suffered I wish I could help ease their pain and suffering, take it upon myself for a time and give them time to be happy

I knew a girl who grew up too fast. She blamed me for everything and this i allowed, for it was the only way i could doctor her tears. Your words are truth.
