It Is All I Have
I am young and travelling
my life is unraveling
as a teenager I dreamed
this day would happen
not on the safe side I dwell
as the danger unfolds
forward I propel
I coming out of my shell
extreme is not the word
crazy sounds to absurd
this beats the life of a nerd
this excel the master degree of a jock
“daddy is going to buy you a mocking bird”
who am I kidding
my parents were never there
just mama the only one
who ever cared
it is all I ever have
a personality flaw
my heart in a chest of drawers
this how I extend towards an inconvenient cause
ain’t no love lost
ain’t no sunshine when its on
