There's Another Side of Me
My gentle tongue,
Loosely professes my sorrow
Aches and pain fill my body daily
My warm soul,
Speaks words of love and loss of reality
For my love has gone astray and left me lonely
My crooked feet,
Walk the floors of insanity
And leaves footprints in vain
My scarred arms,
Curdle up with coldness
Shivering like a dope fiend
My friendly heart,
Talks to me daily
Offers guidance and strength
My bare ears,
Hear words, Words that are not spoken
Paranoia steps in
My youthful mind,
Wonders through and through
Disconnected from the world outside
My fruitful body,
Seeks pleasure, In the midst of another
To ignite that fire that burns within me
My glossy eyes,
See vengeance and anger
For those that accused and slandered me
My inner child,
Is speaking out,
Speaking out loudly for me
My sense of life,
Slowly deteriorates
Like a drunk that can't tell the time of day
My thought of love,
Increasingly escapes
For happiness is not meant to be, Least not for me
My lonely nose,
Smells death , Lurking in the dark
Carrying the scent of flesh and loss of life
My greatest fear,
Of change, Keeps me bound
Afraid to breathe , This breath of life
I feel like a zombie, Walking the floor
Of a lifeless earth, Knocking on enemy's door
Open up, Here I am...
