Life Waiting To Burst

Call me worthless, call me a failure Tell me I'm good for next to nothing Say it how I see already I know my hopes are inevitably filled with agony For in my heart which I keep locked up I know the truth will soon speak up A mind is like an unstable explosive Light the fuse and see it's erosive Though some may be delayed Kicked aside beneath the bay Eventually it will find a shore Ticking slowly till it's found someone willing to explore While the brain is slow to wind Someday we accept the good we find As the chains which close the crate The bomb inside deserving fate Open up and peek inside Expand your life, and enjoy the ride
