My Song is Very Real
Folly often takes sweet youth
down pathways somewhat, strange,
confusing everything 'till way off track;
I understand each lesson
has a universal rule,
but, there are many found in each & every stack!
It's resulted in one large lump
words do my throat, betray;
is there nothing that will thwart the powers that be?
I reckon we'll find quite enough
of the evidence it will take,
to convince fate it weren't you, & it weren't me.
Just be quiet & imagine
no such thing as, "all alone";
with concrete proof you're in the clear; as well.
Take it only as far
as you'd ever wish to roam;
or you could end up as the cause of your own, hell.
I've drank when I weren't thirsty
slept hard when I weren't tired;
can't count the days I weren't exactly, "pure";
But, I can recall very clearly
as can we "all", as well;
love, alone makes it possible to endure.
it doesn't take a genius
to realize he's wrong,
more than likely he'll be the first to know;
but, worry not my friend, don't fret
for the very likes of him;
he's too much weight for anyone to ever tow.
I hope with all I care for
I caused your mind to think;
or maybe caused your lonely heart to feel;
but, if I caused, but one pair of ears
to hear what I can't say'
they'd know without a doubt, my song is very, real.

I guess I am....
...sometimes, (like maybe 5 times); I've used PART of a poem. Otherwise, it's like there aren't many who can relate.
Sincerely, thanx;
doc.
