Behind the Curtain

I wish I could let the people who don't believe see that I've:

Walked a thousand miles and slept a thousand nights,

That I've seen a million things and hidden a million lies,

That I've fought a thousand wars and that I've said a thousand truths,

That I've slayed a million demons and have a million more,

That I've stood my ground when earth itself tried to break me and held my head up when the devil himself tried to claim me.

I wish I could let the people who didn't believe see what lays ahead.

I wish I could let the people that don't believe see into the darkness,

Show them how much of life lies behind the purple curtains of the mortal mind,

Show them the shadows walking through the light.

I wish I could show the ones who don't believe that there's more to life then black and white, dead or alive.

I wish I could show the people who don't believe what lays ahead.

This piece will always hurt for me it'll always hold a whole new layer only a few will see I hope the ones who read this enjoyed it and understood why it hurts. Hurts to read and hurts to write when you can feel your heart beat in the words.
