I Am Moving

Your joy is my sorrow Your happiness is my pain And my shame is your gain I just cannot hold back the tears any longer It streams sacredly down my wounded face My heart is as hard as an iron and my spirit is as bold as a lion You intend to crush me to pieces With all your useless devices Human dabbling in my tired flesh And my online activities you sabotage to death You send strangers in the house to torment me You study my every move with car lights bleeding from the roof I thought I could hold out a little longer But no I have to obey my master You suck my blood like a vampire And you harass me as though you were my mother I am somebody's child you know And deep down inside I have a soul A soul bonded with the depth of the earth Searching for a path to break out I stand on the heightened bridge and view the city within I see crossing roads and long lines and people stumbling inside Many battles have been fought Many battles were lost And many battles have been won Now the road is twisting and turning and something has intercepted my journey But a fiery dart came along and replenish my broken path I am moving but I don't know where I am going I am moving but I don't know where I am staying They don't deserve my sympathy much less my tender mercy I water the earth with my tears Whose crust have been dried up for years The trees have been bruised and scorched But no one seems to care I am moving so let me go I am moving to get peace and tranquility
