Miniature Microphone In the Phones

i once was courageously brave 
unaware and dark with a gaping young heart   
it intensely told me, I could be fearlessly bold
and write inflicting lyrics that could change the whole world
well, I didn't believe it of course

until they kept senselessly disappearing 
and someone on the radio
was singing my songs (lyrics) 
a country star, then a rapper,
then, and then,     
until someone vehemently put me in the local hospital 
for six days and nights, of five I was unconscious  
then I believed that I could write a change  

talking about fear and confusing (confusion)
how did they know about me 
i never gave my songs to anyone 
and no one every gave me a dime...
or a penny
