get busy living or get busy dying

in the mirror

a child is found

a girl is lost

beneath the surface

there it lives



inside reminding her

she is no longer invinceable



wondering how

who

when



and slowly

the life drains from

the unbroken spirit



confusion

sadness

they take the place

of the smile once held in her heart



heart shaped boxes

stacked within

under the skin

buried with sin



the fiddler doesnt play for the girl

he cannot chase away the disease

so here it lives inside



memoirs of the lonely child

on a rainy day

dancing to a tune of dispair

under the stars

wetness in her hair



tears fall

as she takes to the wheel

clarity is clear



there may be little time

get busy living

or

get busy dying
