My Soul
So much on my mind
And I find
Nothing is ever as it seems
The end of dreams
Having hard times
So again I turn to my rhymes
My brother and his crimes
He did so many years
Shed a lot of tears
He was all I had
Made me feel really sad
Said it was all lies
Time never flies
Waiting
Hating
Promised to protect me
From all the bad there be.
But he was no longer free
People use me then throw me away
Hurtful words they say
Take all I have not even care
If I cry they just stare
Try to break my will
I am human and I feel
So long I've been alone
Hiding, remembering what life has shown
The hate has grown
I keep it inside
Deep it does hide
Rage does abide
I help people most of the time
Again I use the word rhyme
they don't even know
I don't make it a show
Do it to fight the hate
Not my fate
But still for my brother I did wait
Time went by
The suns many passes through the sky
From the world I hid
For life I made no bid
Waiting for him to come home
I had to continuously roam
So many nights my body and heart, so cold
As I grew old
The sun kept passing through the sky
Didn't care if I live or die
Life has always made me cry
Alone
Soaked to the bone
He finally came home
No longer was I alone
I invited him into my barn
Yeah still a part of this yarn
Still he pinky swear it wasn't him that did so bad
Made me sad.
I believed
And I grieved
Now I hear you say
Just the other day
You was to blame
Shame
A human once again stabbed my heart
All these years apart
I believed your lie
Now I fly
You set me to the animals to be used
Abused
Left behind
Nobody could I find
Lost my mind
To everyone you want me to lie
My heart will forever cry
I have to walk
Never again to you will I talk
No sorry same out
My heart no longer so stout
Crushing to me
No other way can I see
You thought me well
Can you not tell
I need no one ever
You will see me never
I really do forgive
But your lie I cannot live
Take the barn
It is the end of this here yarn
Live in my tent
And pay the rent
Going home to die
Will never again cry
You killed me
Can you not see
So much rain
Life rubs against the grain
Made me insane
They are taking me to an adult care house for my last days
To late to change my ways
want me in their care
Sounds fair
I don't care no more
My soul will never fly
I have lived your lie
Now I want to die
There is no tomorrow
No land of no sorrow
Nothing left inside
No reason to hide
Life opens a door
You walk through, and life is no more
