Sinking Ship
Im so very torn by my emotions
Riding high my heart is in throat
Angry and disillusioned by lies
Seems the boat i ride never floats
Holes in floorboards a sinking ship
treading water about to drown
Fighting for air gulping my anxiety
I just wish i could stop falling down
Seems my life is a never ending battle
And uphill climb that leads no where
Love is an illusion sold to us by tv
No one gives up themselves to care
Everything is about what you can get
Theres no random kindness for another
Agendas frought with your screwing neighbor
I dont know why i ever even bothered
Im a gentle spirit being churned and spit out
I cast no stones yet they stone me
I judge nobody yet still im judged
I cant understand why this happens to me
Am i truly that unlovable easy to burn
Trekking through life without anyone
to share my burdens or or give me love
should i give up b4 what i do cant be undone
Tied my holey boat back to the dock
Ill stay where i am stagnant and still
Stop trying to ford the river of life
Give up give in til foes have there fill
When they are done i rise again beaten
Forlorn undressed regressed yet still standing
Ill walk towards the sun head held high
With a new inner strength of understanding
But i wont be easy i wont show care
My heart will b empty ill be the prick
I will do only for me not care about you
My heart will b filled with lead & arsenic
