When you, are really hurting here.
But in your heart, you keep moving.
When you feel ,like you are always sad.
But in your heart, you keep moving
When you, wanting to give up on life.
But in your heart , you keep moving.
When you, are alone and feeling lonely.
But in your heart, you keep moving.
Then you, truly are an over comer here.

You’ve got me locked up in this cage
My mouth full of dirt, my heart full of rage
I’ve been beggin n’ pleadin, won’t you let me go
The veins so tight, they’re gonna blow
You pick me up, then push me down
Hold me under, until I drown
I don’t understand the reasons why
You clip my wings, then demand I fly
You’ve got me nailed to your cross
A load to carry, when I feel so lost
I never know which way to turn
You stoke my flame, then watch me burn
The fare you serve, so sticky sweet
You fill my plate, but won’t let me eat
You light a candle, just out of reach
Is there a lesson, you’re tryin’ to teach?
I don’t know why, you love these chains
Like a man on fire, a heart deranged
Bound and gagged, seems the only way
To keep your angry beasts at bay
I’m a prisoner of your wild desires
…Trapped inside a lustful fire
You want to have, but not to hold
I’ve never felt…a fire as cold
Baby, baby, why can’t you see
What this torment does to me
Don’t you feel the loss of my decay
I’m a broken sparrow, trapped in a cage

My life is full of
Ups and downs
I asked my girlfriend
To read my poems
She said that she didn't think so
Unfortunately
She has no poetic soul
Dry inside I die
All my living is but a lie
I seem to have traded
All that matters
For an easy loveless ride

Dear Poetess's
Please
Consider me
Together
Our poetry could
Simply be!

I didn't know a tree would grow
From just a little seed
I didn't know that it would grow
In spite of all the weeds
And I didn't know a little snow
Could ***** that raging flame
I didn't know that it would blow
To leave a lasting stain
I didn't know the fire's glow
Would chill me to the bone
I didn't know it's heady glow
Would turn my heart to stone

Just...call me slow, but I didn't know
The wiles, the ways of man
And so it goes, I didn't know
What my heart can't understand…
