Life has a funny way,
Of making sure you fall
But here's to the people
Who manage to smile through it all.

For those who **** you dry,
and, disregard how you feel,
create a barrier that is real
They can't understand survival,
that's why
You must protect your inner self
Don't deny
They would rather see you die
and, suffer in silence,
while you cry
Without a moment,
how are you,
they thrive on control
Through and, through

A quick fix
A long story mix
History
Resistance
Philosophy
Knowledge
Prophecy
Words,
seen in a different way
The mind of a Poet,
or Poetess
An artist,
that views,
words and, letters,
with vision
Macbeth
Who took a Prophecy,
from a trio of three
Consumed
Ambition,
actions driven by a vision
Seeking power for its own sake,
the vision of the Universe,
would never forsake,
or leave you with guilt,
paranoia and, heartache

I stood there in the closet
Plotting it out
How I was gonna wear
her outfit
Without her figuring out
The one with the stripes
And the ******* belt

She always had something
I wanted you see
Something I couldn't have
Was what I wanted to be

Like the hand me down things
She handed to me
Her hand me down love
was my everything

I was walking on air
When she gave them to me
Like a million bucks
Felt like I won the lottery
In her hand me down love
I was glistening

Hand me down shoes
Hand me down rings
Hand me down clothes
Hand me down things
