Resurrection

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Bathing with your toaster, Cos things don’t look so great You’ve gotta be tough enough To take the strain It’s raining so you hide for shelter Your just afraid to be part of reality You wan’t to live inside But you just can’t find the words to make you say So scream it out, before you  fade out Faded shadows on the Mississippi Reflection of a coward The fear inside it takes, your nightmares are reality So get up and scream your lungs out And use an ounce of pain You have to take some damage If you want to stand in the rain Don’t fade away, until the sun comes today Wake up your insides and step out Don’t fade out Get out of your shoebox, and see what comes your way Resurrect your mind go seek what you can find And as your wheels are turning forget all you’ve left behind Go live your life ‘cos the world won’t mind Because now’s the time, time to make things right, the time of your life Written April 11th, 2002 © on Apr 11 2002 08:23 AM PST   10 • 0
