A Lovely Reason To Live

I can't stay away Though once I tried Sadly I failed to stray This page i always confide No lies, at least not in writing How frightening the truth can be at times I feel this society tightening Even to sing aloud can seem like a crime Do not even try to smile, with your covered face No place to run. So I'll dream I'm not a rich man, so today I won't see space And was never one for a club or a team Still you pulled me in, like gravity You are the one that showed me some love And I claimed you as mine. The audacity The opposite of evil. A lovely reason to live...
