Be I need a high to survive because I always feel like I'm Dying If you really listen close Enough You'll hear my inner child crying I'm tired of hiding Hiding from the shame From the alcoholic The insane These are all inside of me I just want to be alone Free from those soul suckers Taking up resideince Inside of me I want to go home To my heart Where They aren't I want he Shaman To remove these Recordings from me I want to be set free Free from the chains Of the karmic pains That have brought my people Down to barren lifeless plains The psychologists They want me to accept This route They want me to grieve The loss of all I've lost and Everything I've never had The thought that I'll Never have it Gets me raging mad Doesn't everyone deserve A loving dad? It's not that bad It's not that bad It's not tht bad I'm totally used to being sad The Mantras I've spoken Over the deluded years Are like pokeballs for All my fears They store the damage inside Of my flesh Like magotts they eat My hope until There's nothing left This is what you want Me to accept? I'm not sure you've got this right Mr. psychology Acceptance of the awful Doesn't prove to be an appealing Methodology I want to believe that I Can return to the light That I can take flight AND Still serve here on the ground There's a reason I refer To my followers as the angels Of the let down I am an angel I have always been And I will remain To be And I want to shed This shit storm that's been Clinging to me I'm not ready to give up Yet on being set Free I CAN BE -Beth F Freedom in the light of the moon, it's all too much, it's all too soon. The eyes consume. |
