Chain on My Arm

By Objection

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Wishes are worthless They never come true I never thought this 'Til I lived it through. This girl's best friend, I hate to admit- Isn't hardly a diamond Nothing like it. My most faithful companion Is sharp, grey, and strong. When it peirces a canyon- The scar will remain for long. Just a few swipes Could end several lives. But I'll wait for a night When I'm too tired to try. I've been sick of effort for years Trying just to fit in Living my life through tears, It's impossible to win. People say not to let you get to me, As if I could choose. If I could decide I'd already be free. But relentlessly, I'll just lose. With this chain on my arm And this chip on my shoulder, I'll never be safe from harm And my life will become ever colder.Yes, I feel this way. No, you can't save me. You probably can't do anything at all. But, yeah, now it's out there Written April 1st, 2002 © on Apr 01 2002 09:12 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
