I Do Not Belong
Is this Earth I walk, obliged to my own two feet
Is the sky above, constrained to hiding my tears
Every loud roar, brings not fear, but peace
Just like the knowledge, that I fell deceased
Tell me, does a mother cry, when a child falls beneath
For if she does, forever shall I breathe
Through this agony and sorrow, through all the screams I hear
Locked in a cell, like the people of the land I bleed
But it is not my body, but my soul that is weak
It is not a way out, but strength that I seek
I wish a poet could describe this pain I feel
An artist to draw that night I fear
The echoes of all my peers
Fallen angels, victims to a disease
Too cursed to live, so blessed to leave
I wonder is it my destiny
Or did destiny flee the moment the first rifle sang that evil song
One by one, they were all gone
And I wonder
Is this world my own
For I feel, that I do not belong
