It's LOOONG, but please read it to the end. If you'd like to I mean. Thank you if you do. I'd like honest opinions.
Fall unto me
Walk with my eyes to the ground
Talk with a fake happy sound
Make jokes about my life that mean so much
Yet no one can read me or see my crutch
I wish my life was not this one, wish it was different
Wish I could freeze my emotions or just make them end
So much love to give yet no one to receive it
So much pain but no shoulder to give me rest
I cry in the darkness of my mind and yet now I find
That my fake dreams will only come to pass if I hide
Hide the truth of my life and my thoughts
My mind wears a pad lock, so tight and strong
Not a soul can crack it that would be the worst wrong
You could bear to me. Break my shield and you break me
I can’t live in this world of hate and deceit
Without my shields and walls to comfort and protect me
How could you expect me to learn the lessons of love
And of care or comfort in such a small drove
Of time? Life is never easy but my emotions are fake
And I know this must be awful hard for you to take
But my feelings are mostly lies or what I’ve seen
And then shadowed upon myself. This is a screen
A screen that protects my heart from hardships
And my mind from the hate and gall of the battleships
That our world is made of; America to England and our enemies
Iraq to Korea and back again to everyone on the scene
How can people so alike and so different, hate each other so much?
You have hatred for those you’ve never met. Explain it. Tell how such
Violence can be condoned. How our world became this way.
What do we strive for at the end of the day?
To beat someone in football or to win a war
How is that not different from someone getting hurt and sore?
Why must we prove our worth by others tears?
Why can we not face our own insecure fears?
Our lives have lost control and the fires of hate spread
From High school hell
to War of the World
and in the end the only ones hurt are ourselves.
Every single time we harm someone our souls wither.
How can we let the fire of anger and hate slither
Around us? We must stop, everyone put up your wall
If the scathing comments hit that wall then what will fall?
It will and you will stand strong, safe, and tall
Ready to rebuild your shield and no evil is spread.
No hatred or suffering or crying
Life is a battlefield for the envious and the bigoted
Heaven is a place for the kind of heart to escape
Hell is for those who lost the fight with war and peace.
So when you are in need, fall unto me
Fall and feel the warmth that my shield has created
Hiding is not cowardice, it is the intelligence that keeps us alive.
A deer runs from a wolf and I run from anger and hate
Why is my running any different? Why cannot I relate?
Fall unto me, and fall unto your friends,
Maybe with our walls we can put the wars and hate to a well needed end.
