Still Weeping (Tivoli, A Year After)

You would think the pain would subside
But my wounds are still wide
Although there’s no evidence of this from the outside
I’m slowly dying from the inside
You would think I have forgotten that day
Although I’ve tried my mind keeps pressing replay
The shots keep echoing, cries, mayhem, disarray
Emotions running, people still dying, state of anarchy
My bed is friendly
But my nights are scary
Sleep keeps calling
But my eyes are saying don’t close me
Trauma so hard to sidestep
Like being in a thousand accidents, coma
Can’t recuperate as yet
You would think that by this time I wouldn’t be this bitter
You would think that by this time I would’ve closed that chapter
You would think that by now our lives would’ve been much greater
You would think that by now the healing process would’ve been over
No, it haven’t been that easy
Not when we’re still govern by the same agents of cruelty
Not when citizens are still being treated unfairly
Not when the faces of friends and families killed, flashes at me daily
Not when a year have passed and there’s still no justice for their brutality
