18/M/TIP Center Writing for my life •-•-•
He dug me a grave So I planted a tree He sent me a wave So I sailed out to sea And to see what he throws I must be quick on my feet To catch hold of my breath Before he takes hold of me Now I'm in the hole Where he left me to die So throw me the rope As I say my goodbye But not to my life. No, not to my life. The rope 'round my waist Not my neck, as I climb I wave goodbye to him For the very last time

Cling to me and I’ll pull you in close Cling to me when you need me the most Cling to me and I’ll keep my hold You can cling to me tightly I’m not letting go.

Cling
They’re asking for comparisons But a father can’t compare his sons And they’ll call until the morning sun But he’ll protect every one of them Like a building stands on tens of tons Not on one brick but the sum of them As an artist’s craft is never done Discarding not a single one The works build up the firm foundation A mental shelter, found salvation Rich and poor, they form a nation A state of mind, the mind’s creation So when they ask “will you stop your run?” I’ll let them know I’ve just begun Cause they’re asking for comparisons But a father won’t compare his sons
