What's Your Soul Worth Anyway

Did you know what your soul knew? Deep, in the dark recesses of your mind Lurking, quietly hidden...Coaxing you silently See it through...Acknowledge. Truth...Naked, exposed if you truly look Supposed, if you bait and hook Disclosed, if a chance you took Take it! Live freely, for your life...it's worth Claim what's yours, dig deep...unearth Dignity and honor, your very essence oppressed Held hostage in bondage, in secret...possessed Shout out! Shout loud! Let it go to hell! The money and power...The narcissism spell Left lonely, unhappy, your soul to sell Putrid, lingering...self-betrayal smell Jumping the hurdles, to keep it all When? How high? Why you feel so small A puppet controlled by strings that sprawl From head to toe, someone else's call Not a move to make without permission A sold out soul is about 'submission' Fake it! Break it! Make it! Of your own...Volition! Control your time! Before your time controls you!
