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
