English: Crossroads at Over Compton At this sm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did I spy a secret,

in the corner of your eye?

If you were to tell me,

would it make me cry?

 

Do you think it’s worth it,

to keep up this charade?

Life is complicated,

why make it so hard?

 

Would it not be better,

to go our separate ways?

To accept that it’s all over,

and fight another day.

You rang m'lord

 

 

 

 

You rush on by,

in your pinstripe suit;

look down on me,

nose, cock-a-snoot.

 

Do you know,

who I really am?

I am richer,

than any man.

 

You may have millions,

stashed away,

some off-shore bank,

for a rainy day.

 

But take a look,

closely examine,

open up you heart,

what lies within?

 

I may not have money,

to match your wealth,

but I do have love,

and that’s something else!

 

For all your riches,

stocks and shares,

I live my life,

with no worries, or cares.

I cry to the universe –

You decide!

Should I live,

or should I die?

 

It gives me an answer,

I can’t ignore;

so I pick up my pen,

and write some more.

 

With this decision,

comes peace and oneness,

acceptance of life,

which hurts none the less.

 

The die is cast,

but with that said,

I patiently wait,

for the day of the dead.

Still waters run deep

Injured hearts still weep

Lakes full, tears run dry

Sleek swans glide by
