The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

This is one of the few poems that I'm making up by singing it, so it makes sense and rhymes, but ONLY in my head. And the chorus is the first two stanzas, which both start with This is a Story.

 

 

This is a story

Of what I could be

And all the things

That I'll never ever ever be

 

This is a story

Of what I should be

And all of the things

That make what I am

 

A man walks alone in the twilight

Suffering there, shining in the light

Alone again, he walks in shadow

His reality always seems so much like a lie.

So he stumbles down the hill

Scrapes himself and tastes the blood again

Now he's dying again all alone

Not his first time for the loveless life he lost

 

This is a story

Of what I could be

And all the things

I'll never ever be

 

This is a story

Of what I should be

And all of the things

That make me what I am

 

A warrior stands alone below the stars

Wondering why he is at war

His mind is a cloudy mystery

To everyone, everyone but me

For I have been there, and seen what lies there

Past the curtain, into the fallen lands

There is a promise, and a forgiving

And all of the lies that you could ever carry on

 

(chorus)

 

All of the lies

All of the promise

You told to me

 

All of the lies

And all of the bullshit

That carried me

 

It's all gone...

 

It's all gone, gone, gone...

 

It's all gone...

 

It's all gone...

 

So lift me up, and save my ruined life

Once more, my dear

I'm always dead, except for the promise

That I hold dear

So see past the lies, see past the courage

To the truth that lies beyond

To see all the things that have shaped my wholeness

You've got to look beyond

 

To the skies...

 

(chorus)
