I Do Not Belong

Is this Earth I walk, obliged to my own two feet Is the sky above, constrained to hiding my tears Every loud roar, brings not fear, but peace Just like the knowledge, that I fell deceased Tell me, does a mother cry, when a child falls beneath For if she does, forever shall I breathe Through this agony and sorrow, through all the screams I hear Locked in a cell, like the people of the land I bleed But it is not my body, but my soul that is weak It is not a way out, but strength that I seek I wish a poet could describe this pain I feel An artist to draw that night I fear The echoes of all my peers Fallen angels, victims to a disease Too cursed to live, so blessed to leave I wonder is it my destiny Or did destiny flee the moment the first rifle sang that evil song One by one, they were all gone And I wonder Is this world my own For I feel, that I do not belong
