The Leper Odyssey
Raised to work
Raised to survive
Raised to live but never feel alive
Raised to hate by twisted fates from prior hearts that had no ounces
Raised to fail in the eyes of success
Raised to bow by who viewed what was best
Raised by opinions that lead to hopelessness
In my eyes we are raised to fail, so I say NO
I’m not raised by the society of despotic rules
I raise myself with the heart of passion
With the lungs of a meadow breeze
With the spirit of hope…All negativity decease
And as tall as the leaves on evergreen trees
Before I give in I would wriggle on my knees
Raised to tear
Raised to coral
Raised to flesh and never have moral
Raised to hate by twisted fates from prior hearts that had no ounces
Raised to fail in the eyes of success
Raised to bow by who viewed what was best
Raised by opinions that lead to hopelessness
In my eyes we are raised to fail, so I say NO
I am not raised by the detoured minds
I raise myself
I see what others couldn’t fathom
I see what others doubt
I see love that’s radiant
My heart thirst for the happiness of the poorest doubt in man…All negativity decease
And as tall as the leaves on evergreen trees
Before I give in I would wriggle on my knees
Raised in chaos
Raised to deceive
Raised in schools, but never taught to believe
Raised to hate by twisted fates from prior hearts that had no ounces
Raised to fail in the eyes of success
Raised to bow by who viewed what was best
Raised by opinions that lead to hopelessness
In my eyes we are raised to fail…so I say NO
I’m not raised by the dimmed emotions of the hopeless
I raise myself
I love, believe, and applaud myself
I love and care for the ones who aren’t found by anyone else
I love love, and despise hate
And I despise the rules of the common minds fate
I will not accept, and I will make
My own path if I see no opened gate
So when you say the only way is just to survive
I keep walking my path
A path to being Alive
