While the sky held her hands
Her eyes as bold bells I heard
An ocean enough to drown deep to be found a herd.
While care is lost in the seas
We can all be everything
everyone has ever been
We can all be everything
no one has ever been
Yet
Like smoke, we were dispersed after the poison of our fun
Went in and out, left cancer's promise on a pair of lungs
Atrophy at your heavenly side is worth all the waste
Work till you drop or make stacks of cash
Drown in luxury, clothing, and jewels
Drink till you can't remember your name
Drug with toxins so you can dream
Watch a screen to forget the day
I’ve been exhausted in vain
Becoming a waste of space
Growing used to verbal abuse
For a minimum wage
just in case you've forgotten,
vices are not
inhereited through the
splitting of DNA between your mother
and father. the excuses from your brother don't
replace yours and they
don't cover up
