I feel stranger every day
Further removed from control of my fate
And lost in the a city sound
Kick around my life
Like a stone on the ground
Contending for futures is a game for the proud
And I’m tired
It’s too heavy and menial now
Got the whole world in my hands
Just like Jesus the God that’s within
He can make me a better man
Like folks who get cheers
From the highest grand stands
With their fire gel lights
And a camera lens
It’s too heavy
It’s too many things to carry
I stare into my eyes
Reach in them deep with my left and right
pull out the rose and the weed
The thrills and what kills
Until nothing remains
You mind is just wires
Needing pulled and replaced
Until heavy
Gets replaced with empty.
So strange to be
So strange to see
Everything
You were in love
More than one time
And you convinced your mind
Something’s not quite right
So You took flight
The better in you is hard to see
When your caught up in the sway
Of pain and peace
All is well that ends, you’ll see
A tiny dark for a true necessity
It’s alright
You were young once
Just that one time
You lost your shape somehow
And you pick yourself up again
Stand up proud
The better in you is hard
to see
When your caught in the sway
Of pain and peace
All is well that ends, you’ll see
A tiny dark for a true necessity
It’s alright
You could end it
Before it’s time
Recline and decompose
Dim the lights
Draw curtains and
End the show
That’s an exit
A final bow
But heroes are never born
Their made again and again
And restored
The better in you is hard
to see
When your caught in the sway
Of pain and peace
All is well that ends, you’ll see
A tiny dark for a true necessity
It’s
You reclined
I sat adjacent
We spoke about the weather
And the humid days we dread
You drew a light
I sat up straighter
At the mention of your mother
I thought of my kin
We were following their trails
Humming the same song
We talked and shared some things
And I bummed a cigarette
We said the things that had hurt and named W
I thought internally
This is like family
Examining the tethers between
Us and our skin
Is it true
That we are parallel?
An anam cara,
Do you feel the love I’ve found?
Realized
That I’m not a stranger
Caught in the wonder
In the spirit in the ground
We were following the trail
Humming the same song
We talked and shared some things
I bummed a cigarette
We said the things that had hurt and named W
I thought internally
This is like family
Examining the tethers between
Us and our skin
