RAVEN BEING

i look at myself and what can i see
long black hair like the raven i am
but theres no smile- its misery
i dont understand, am i to be damned?
i dont know whats wrong
breif happiness beholds
from person or song
is this the truth being told
of who i am?
the legend of the lost soul
was i once the innocent lamb?
who now tainted lives in darkness
and now being becomes darkness
and becomes the raven for salvation?

yes, i have been hurt beyong repair
is this the cause of my pain?
dwelling pain, seeping spreading
multiplying, nerves are deadening
why am i back here?
why are my eyes so filled with tears?

i dont want this hurt, but i need the pain
it surrounds me like a mist
now its a part of me
and without it i will cease to exist.
