Old

I am more than you see So much more I be The dirty clothes I wear The long silvery hair I have feelings ,I care I step aside Your emotions you don't even try to hide Looking down Wearing that frown Thinking I'm a bum You have no clue where I come from Didn't ask you for a dime Not any of your time Now comes the word rhyme I know what you see Thinking your the one free I have nothing much No one's loving touch Maybe I smell I can't tell I'm more than you see God made me What ever reason I make it through another season You walk on by Nose up high Why Afraid of being what you see That's ok, cause God made me This rage I turn the page Maybe it is my age You think I'm poor I'm much more Your hate Just not my fate At any rate You can hurt my feelings With hard words or dealings Heart on my sleeve Silently I grieve But on I walk Don't need your talk My heart is free On a bended knee God made me I am strong But time is long And I fight To stay in the light People put me down But in hate I refuse to drown I am free Cause God made me At times I feel so cold So old Find it hard to keep going It helps knowing I plant the seed of love and it is growing A smile Times been awhile My soul is free Cause my God made me
