My Inner What

My inner self shaking, from all life’s abuse
My inner soul breaking, from all the misuse
Holding on dearly, may not create love
If you see real clearly, you will rise above

The shell of me cracked, just like a broke egg
Its like I was sacked, or maybe broken a leg
Feeling like you can, is easier said than done
But if you make a plan, then early fame is won

Manically depressive, or mentally insane
Its not to impressive, from deep in my brain
Staying on the tracks, will keep you going straight
Those that turn their backs, are ones that will hate

With my core shook, I rattle to life
I’ll just take a look, and wade through the strife
Open your mind, to open your eyes
What you will find, is quite the surprise

Time in the sun, did gave me a burn
Was to much fun, am I ever to learn
Too burnt to proceed, I am sorry my friend
What will you read, this isn’t the end
