Suffer a While

Eyes are sore spent too much time in the light I'm facing the Sun reading of my plight all but I'm not surprised my hands hurt I dropped the ball in the dirt and as I lay on a bed of roses Thorns puncture my back and my voice is frozen I have chosen the leap of faith in the dark while I am brace eating grapes I contemplate my faith who am I to surmise to surprise who am I to cry of the Innocents in the night who am I to deprive the innocent of the flight while on this time all this time I suffer a while I put on a smile I pretend I'm a child I'm open Pine and wine out of a cry while asking myself why I plunge I dive I fall on the ground and on the rebound once again I pray help me out today I'm up I'm down I'm all around I Fallen continually again over and over underground I fall down I must relate I do not hate I hesitate as I cross the gates where is the bridge that's how I found I'm Homeward Bound I must have crown Homeward Bound I've hurt myself I've nothing left left when the storms rages on communicable diseases Faith Healers it's treated misfortunate Captain plate procrastinate in the kitchen eating blue grapes electricity and utilities have been turned off I fell down the stairs oh well I guess I just lie here and suffer a while 12/12/17 Written by James Edward Lee Sr
