Empty Promise

Brick a brack This and that, Wish I had a pony. Sky blue puppy dogs, One single white cat, My lovely memories… Hit me, kick me, Stop that now! I am free, you are free, Monsters don’t eat apples. Plant an apple tree! This time, never rhyme Tell me only truth. You’re a fish that swims, In water stale with oil. I am never going to be. Free, free, free you see. Look at me, yes I fly. Take your empty heart Sad from the very start. I am "Free"

Free. People take it in, like it has no cost and never appreciate what it really is...until it is gone. Thank you, so much. Ann
