Who created me?
     How did I end up in this family?
Was this an accident or for a purpose?
    Been with them almost thirty years and still uncertain
    Am I the only who thinks this way
Who knows maybe it's just me
    Surely there's a home for the black sheep

Blood boils
Patience wearing thin
Seems like this is bound to happen
Time and time again
Lash out at me
Til your rage simmers
Blow after blow I've stayed quiet

Maybe it's time I let you feel the violence
When you look in confusion
Realize this is no illusion
The tables have turned and now sit down
It's because this time it'll be you who gets burned
Adam El-ghirani Apr 2021
Try to catch my breath
But you steal the air from my lungs
Sharing a table together but you always put a knife to my throat.
Turned my back on you for a second
Only to feel the cold metal of your pistol deep in my back.

My words, your weapon, my pain
Your platform.

Hopelessness is like a heavy chain
Day and night are all the same
The smiles of strangers are like thorns in my flesh.

You can't buy it
You can't get it back
Spend it wisely
Adam El-ghirani Apr 2021
Build a tower in the sky
Make it the best to all the wondering eyes.
No time to laugh, no time to cry
I have to build until I die
Adam El-ghirani Apr 2021
On that wooden cross my life was changed forever
Hell was my refuge
And hopelessness lingered through my life like a foul stench
But the nailed scared hands and stripes on his back
Says " my child I would go through hell if that's what it takes to have you back"

And to hell he went and took back every key and said " Satan you can't have this one because he belongs to me"
