Dead Alive
By Night lord
In times long past, With my troubled past I cannot lie, Sometimes I wanted to die. Too much pain and loss, I walked a concrete jungle, Lost from home. Looking for happiness to have been shown. Not knowing who I was. Once in a while I liked to smile, holding back bile, All the while. Not feeling anger or hate, just excepted my downtrodden fate. No love or joy devoid, Of emotion tossed, And turned like waves of the ocean. So empty I could not see, And wondered why this could be. How I could not drain my tears like the sea, Why did I feel this way what was the key. Even here in the mountains were I belong, I wonder what took so long. Why even here emotions are too far gone. I walked away and smiled, Fought on and fought anyway. Who cares I didn't kiss my ass, i'll just lie in the soft green grass. Sun shining cold, Never did what I was told. It didn't matter to me I've, Seen and been through hell, And nothing could ring my bell. What was it who could tell. I just walked on anyways, Dead Alive.
