She Walks
She walks to the beat of the bass drum
searchin' for love
down the street
with experienced feet
her head held high
eyes set straight
impatiently...she waits
disconnected and rejected
often neglected and disrespected
she sifts through her brain
lookin' for another way
just a place to escape
Overdosed on reality
just another technicality
of the opiate of the masses
ripping through her sunglasses
pounding on the door of life
everyone tells her she's wrong
but all alone she's always right
could u only love the day
if you only existed at the night?
Questions with no answers
plaguing her like cancer
and still.... she walks on
to the beat of the bass drum
awaiting for her cure to come
