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
