Sold

In due time

I’ll pay what’s owed

Alone for the load of old moves

Payback for loans to sell dreams for a minute

Pimpish

If it’s crazy to be owned by the past I will be finished

Listened

To the choir to acquire what was missing

My soul is tired

Worn like treads of tires

Sneaker soles and old attire

Suited with attributes of a brute

Uncouth in the present of the future forbearing

Telling what’s apparent

Yet no one will listen

Forever imprisoned by debt

Even bankruptcy is too much to afford

Lawyers are costly

Hard to invest in freedom

I’m left

Like the wrong hand

Gambling for the chance

To win

Signing on lines

Next to x’s

Trying to buy back.....

Trying....

I’m trying to...

****

 

I need my ******* soul back!
