Joy

You fear reprimand.
Love feels so far away.
That blade leads you astray.
Oh, Joy…
Your life is not unplanned.

Don’t refrain from tears.
Have faith; you’re not alone.
Scars and lies…heart turning to stone.
Oh, Joy…
Do not give into fear.

You said it’s art…
the result of a mistake,
and happiness is fake.
Oh, Joy…
This breaks my heart.
