Whats your guys opinions? When I was young, reading, art, drawing, writing, was me, somewhere it all got lost, to be resurrected, maybe, as I turn 50. Wife thinks its poetry???? Is the grass green today I can’t tell Been looking through the bars That cage my mind all my life Can’t be myself, want to be myself, too ashamed to be myself Is the sky blue today I can’t tell Been walking in a haze for all my years, demons in my mind Can’t do this anymore Not going to feel less than you Got to break free, got to break free, going to break free, going to live for me Got to break free, got to break free, going to break free, going to live for me Little boy that was me Pay attention, take my hand Come with me, leave that sandbox, walk along Going to find the courage, a future for you and me Even if we have to walk alone Made mistakes, made mistakes Not too proud of, but who will not Don’t be too hard on yourself You are not alone, not the only one Don’t listen to the darkness of your mind Got to break free, got to break free, going to break free, going to live for me Got to break free, got to break free, going to break free, going to live for me Empty that gun, stay alive and you will see What life can be You will meet someone She will always be there for you and I The storms of the past that sometimes haunt Can’t erase, just control He’s six feet down and now you’re a man Is time for you to go back to that box of sand The colors of your flag or people matter not Don’t worry I’ll always be there just not hand in hand Got to break free, got to break free, going to break free, going to live for me Got to break free, got to break free, going to break free, going to live for me
It is poetry. In many ways I can relate to these lines. I write some too, but not very often, mainly when I'm feeling bad and need to get my thoughts out, then this is a very good outlet.
That's emotive stuff @johndeere3020 and impressive writing The 'got to break free' reminds me of the Queen song and I was thinking how hugely successful the band was when I was a teenager but still it seemed like Freddie Mercury struggled a bit with his personal life. So, maybe it's no wonder some of us ordinary folk struggle too?
