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
