Escape From Torture

The mocking laughter
the sinister smiles
how much more must i endure
before sanctuary is found

Physical marks of pain
for fights never fought
are gained more and more
in my search for peace

Ignorance is bliss..
is what i often hear
but i know it doesn't apply
for ignorance is done unknowingly

And all that cause my pain
see it in my eyes
yet this drives them
and forces them to deepen the wound

It was once said
that there should be a place
where souls can be healed
but mine is too long gone

Where is there to go
when you are scorned
by the family you once loved
and friends are scarce

Chasing dreams
of love not attained
and never to be seen
for the knife is now my savior
