A Dose Of Reality
My back is against the wallTonight I will somehow tell it allThe voices in my head are loudSorry if I couldn’t make you proudThe crowd is waiting so patientlyMy emotions start acting impatientlyAs they try to grab hold of my penTo take them all too to back thenA yesterday I tried to let go but couldn’tI was just dandy and I thought they wouldn’tStrike at a man who’s done them no harmThey stuck to me like leaches on my armFilling my head with possibilities of humiliationKnowing that I lacked the needed motivationI hid the loudly roaring anger pretty damn wellOh these eyes witnessed the creations of hellAs they tried to cut the thin rope I foundNo man will hear my loud crying soundI must have struck some kind of chordWith somebody who replaced the lordI spoke not with words but with actionsAs I was crucified with their reactionsNo I am no prophet but I am a manWho you can’t stop him from all he canMake a reality or leave as a dreamIf I was done wrong I will scream
