O' So Many Broken People

O’ SO MANY BROKEN PEOPLE O’ So many broken people Emotions high as a steeple If they are not driving you up the wall They are dragging you down to their fall Forever challenging your loyalty Treating them with royalty Is, I say is never enough Do not ever call their bluff Fight, or flight straight out of the door That’s you cursed, there is no cure Someone, or something broke their soul Breaking you is now is their only goal Patience broken No words spoken No compromise Rages with tears in their eyes Leaving with no good-byes O’ so many broken people Their acts so unspeakable Laying waste on your soul For their life someone else stole Only the ones strong and understanding remain Unswerving against their storms that on you they rain Patience, understanding, our time and our love Until those fears of yours are all got rid of Bridges restored; trust replaced Until all mistrusts are displaced Nothing can be perfect in an unreal world Get up from your fetal position and unfurl Stop blaming others Then on them smother With your cruelly taken away naivety Marring others with your hurtful ferocity We are all not the same, hurt not the ones trying to take away your hostility O’ to all those broken people Stop for a moment, and learn to love again Indiana Shaw . . .

Hello Indiana ... oh yes, the more you try to advise and help the further into their abyss you tend to fall - sad verse, but true Indiana - Lindsay
