Cel-Shaded Gold

I forgot how to write My God it's not sounding right The way I'd shape my face by phrase on a page The shades I'd make cry, pray, and praise your name Out of the blue you chalked me on cue To change the hue of my attitude You say "I'll pull it right out of you And carry this, your arrogance An arrow in My vow to you" So what do I do when I've lost my voice And need a ploy just to prove my choice When it's true that That I'm the biggest fool on the planet but But I'd be a tool to wanna change it 'cause 'Cause I'm a lion in a strange land I'm untamed maybe I'm deranged and I can't say I'm a safe man I don't sell my soul, although you know I'd I'd go render my last cel-shaded gold Through a bold But hidden code Where love and hate they'll mold fixated in a humble abode You see I'm not perfect And for sure you've heard it Oh it's true that That I'm the biggest fool on the planet but But I'd be a tool to wanna change it 'cause 'Cause I'm a lion in a strange land I'm untamed maybe I'm deranged and I can't say I'm a sane man No I can't say I'm a safe man So I can't say I'm a sane man No I can't say I'm a sane man So I can't say I'm a safe man

This is so wonderful! Keep on writing. "'Cause I'm a lion in a strange land I'm untamed maybe I'm deranged and I can't say I'm a sane man" Amazing!

A nice, expressive poem. The fifth stanza shares the deep reservoir of love springing up from a captive soul. They might alter your mental state, but they can't touch your soul. Thanks for sharing some deep emotions with us. Some people truly do not realize how hard it is to survive in the cage. Keep baring your soul through your capable pen. I look forward to reading more of your poetry soon!
