No One

If I win the war why am I silent 

If I made it why are there stitches in my chest 

If I’m the beloved why is my gun empty 

I’m lost in the desert 

We are the only ones left 

Aren’t we ? 

I’m the one aren’t I ? 

They say I’m tangled 

As I run away from your accident 

It’s like I’m fine leaving the scene of this crime 

They ask if I’m alright 

I think I’m in shock 

As they report it on the news tonight 

Yeah it’s that kind of story 

Right ? 

I couldn’t  explain it if I tried . 

I’m like the tomb raider in this ordinary life 

No one could ever know what it was like 

The strife . 

It’s like the twisted metal of the wreckage is my life 

But hold on I’ll brush off my knees 

Wash off the tears 

Hide the make up smeared across my face 

Because I’m just fine ...... 

You say you get it 

No one gets it . 

I’m a different breed 

I’m branded . 

I’ve been in a different story 

The kind you see in those movies . 

I try to live this normal life 

But then the memories hit me . 

I’m a modern day super hero

My nights aren’t coffee and tea 

My gun is empty 

I’m healing 

You almost destroyed me .
