| Soul of an Innocent, Trying to stay Pure in a World of so many Evils |
Derby
|
I stand between myself: | 1 |
Outside looking in. | 2 |
Inside looking through. | 3 |
I see myself dissipate in the mist, | 4 |
And so clearly my shadow hangs onto the ground. | 5 |
| |
I fight between what I want inside, | 6 |
and what the world wants from me. | 7 |
I am trying to be me, | 8 |
while fighting to be free. | 9 |
Peer-pressure and consequence teaches me lessons | 10 |
and upon my heart, the callouses that are left. | 11 |
| |
I cannot take too much | 12 |
but I am up for it all. | 13 |
I am willing to sacrifice, | 14 |
to kill, | 15 |
to birth, | 16 |
to cleanse any impurities within myself to bring about the new beginning that allows me to fully express myself within the natural boundaries that everyone creates for me. | 17 |
| |
I am fighting for freedom from consequence. | 18 |
Between myself and the world. | 19 |
I am the hurricane, where my true eye is inside and my destructive nature out. | 20 |
I am the soul of an innocent, trying to stay pure in a world of so many evils. | 21 |
| |
Maybe oneday, this war will end. | 22 |
I won't fight for myself and I will let go. | 23 |
I will either be pure or pure evil. | 24 |
I will protect myself or indulge in others. | 25 |
My hatred grows as sainthood approaches. | 26 |
| |
This is about me in a world of others. | 27 |
And if any others praise me | 28 |
then they should worry more about themselves than waste their energy on this endless war. | 29 |
