Sinking Down
SINKING DOWN
World’s trouble, for others i solve
When mine piled up, i found no love
My tears shed for their trauma
Now am in it, they just watch like drama
To the beggar’s feet i dropped my last
Now i lack, they shunned me fast
Really my heart is sinking down
But my mind refuses to drown
I was a pest to everyone i came across
At a time, some said i had a curse
Relatives, their sympathy mocked me
In my hope cage, poverty locked me
My one raiment became my signature
As haggardness crept into my nature
Really my heart is sinking down
But my mind refuses to drown
God, why is my blessing taking long?
Still thinking where i got it wrong
Again i ask, what is the worth of grace
Or is here not really my place?
I have obeyed spiritual principles
Even the physical, yet no miracles
Really my heart is sinking down
But my mind refuses to drown
The more i endure, i hurt
If i complain, my hurt gets hot
Maybe i need a destiny check-up
For it seems my birth-day was a set up
Maybe my dream was the betrayer
And my reality a soothsayer
Really my heart is sinking down
But my mind refuses to drown
