Tiny little fractures

by Lizaveta   Mar 5, 2008


Tiny little fractures.

Step by step, he walks a lonely twisted road,
He walks all day long, he walks all night.
And his heart is the only sword,
And his soul is the only source of light.

Every step leaves footprints on the ground
And tiny little fractures on his heart.
And he keeps going, even when he's tired
He falls, he rises, and he steps aside...

But every time he's on the road back again,
Striding forward with his head held high,
Knowing the goals he wants to gain,
Not letting life pass him by.

Still fractures are being left on the heart of him:
Some - aching, some - beautiful like flame,
Some are as simple as they seem,
Some are puzzling, but none are the same.

He walks his life road bravely, not scared of mistakes.
He's not a hero, he's a human - just like you and I
He just lives, and every little step he ever takes
Leaves tiny little fractures on his heart.

    I don't know how the contest went/is going, but I do believe this is contest worthy. The fact that it rhymed in some parts made it all the more believable, heart-felt, and sincere.
    The consept of this person, being just another human, just like everyone else, was a good idea.
    Your words are very powerful, and I enjoyed this.
    I absolutely LOVE the title =)

    5/5
