M's Poetry
Red Tape, Red Paint
Just another coat of paint
never honest with myself
the colors that shine so bright
will be eventually dulled
I just want it to be fine
I hate trouble but too often it's me it finds
sometimes I wish that tone could be tuned
to something that sings happiness
forging all the sadness and gloom
I want to live where the tension doesn't hang
been taught how to smile through the sh*t
I have found love and it's great
so why does everything else has to be a struggle?
it's all these pieces just don't fit
they keep stabbing me right where it hurts
looking down at this hand I see the blood
it laughs at me.....chanting to my brain
I know your history....
I fight for a new future
but is it my fate
to live so torn in half
heart moves forward but why does it keep
getting thrown off it's path?
it's red tape, red paint
my sos......
