If These Scars Could Speak

nevermind the connections
just ignore the intentions
stare into their faces
unlike you, they're faceless
you think you're the only one
to see anything
you know you're not the only one
to hear the screaming
don't fall face first
unless you want to eat shit
it's what you walk through everyday
paraded in front of you
your brightly lit eyes
you lift your arms in discontent
but your mouth is closed
the words are in the chamber
with no charge to ignite them
a picture painted over dirty canvas
can't we rip it down
if we did, would it reveal an uglier wall
or just a blank nothingness
a void of hunger and rage
fills your face
with nothing behind it
nothing to wake
no grace
