Work In Progress

Enter my Mind

Mind your step

Breath in Deep

For what you

See here

Hear here

May make you weep

May make you weak

May make you Wiry,

Wild and Fearful

May make you feel

Alive and Cheerful.

I have fallen more times over

Tried to kick a habit

One that would make most sober

Tried to break the chains that have long held me down

Tried in vain

But it's in my vein's to act the clown

I try to act proud

Keep ma head down

But the world catches up

And when I finally pick myself up

I'm thrown back down.

So who's listening now!

Who's speaking out loud

of foul rumors spread

half of them true

oh please yes lord

I'm trying to pull through.

But I miss my baby blue

I miss my baby who

Could pick me up whenever I was down

Now I'm on the wrong side of the equator

We say we see each other later

But I know it ain't so.

So I'll keep marching on

Boldly, Bouldering  singing my song.

Until I get knocked down and i'm finally gone

I'll just keep getting right back up again

still marching on

to the beat of my own song

I'm a saintly sinner

A loser

A winner

I've been deeply thinking

Of all those times I've been drinking

Of all the **** ups and jokes

I don't wanna choke

On a bag of coke

I wanna stand strong and keep marching on

Leave the behind those habits that have done me wrong

 

 

 

 

Will Shake up any preconceptions you may have
