JUST LIKE THAT
JUST LIKE THAT
THE STORMS ARE HERE TO TAKE OVER ME
WASH ME AWAY
NEGATIVITY CONSUMES MY DAYS
THIS IS NOT ME
SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
AND QUICKLY…THE SOLUTION
MASS CONFUSION
LOVE IS AN ILLUSION
WHERE IS EVOLUTION
WHERE IS REVOLUTION
WHERE IS LOVE
YES IN ME
BUT ONLY…IN ME
HOW CAN ONE BE AT PEACE
HOW CAN MY DAYS BE FREE
FREE FROM DECEPTION
AFFLICTION
CONFUSION
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
WHEN
WHEN WILL HE SEE…ME
WILL IT BE TOO LATE
MAYBE I WILL JUST GO TO A PLACE
ALONE
PRAY
CRY
CLEANSE
RELEASE
START…OVER
MAYBE I WILL JUST SIT HERE
AND READ MY POETRY
WRITE MY POETRY
SING ME A SONG
ME AND THE ONE WHO MADE NATURE
MY CREATOR
WHO TELLS ME WHEN I HURT HE HURTS
MY CREATOR
WHO CREATED THE WORLD IN 7 DAYS
6…BECAUSE THE 7TH DAY HE RESTED
MAYBE I WILL…REST
MY MIND
MY BODY
MY SOUL
REST IN HIM
DOES THE WORLD HAVE A HOLD ON ME
OR DO I IT
WHY DOES FEAR CONSUME ME
FEAR IS OF THE WORLD AND NOT HIM
SO MANY QUESTIONS
SO MANY ANSWERS
IS THERE ENOUGH TIME
IN MY DAY
HIS DAY
ALL THE DAYS
WILL WE ALWAYS SEEK MORE TIME
TO MESS UP
THEN FIX IT UP
DO WE REALLY NEED TIME TO STAND STILL
THE SECONDS SHALL ALWAYS TURN INTO MINUTES
MINUTES INTO HOURS
HOURS TO DAYS
DAYS TO WEEKS
WEEKS TO MONTHS
MONTHS TO YEARS
ALWAYS…ALWAYS
ONLY MY CREATOR CAN CEASE IT
ONLY MY CREATOR CAN CEASE IT
HEAR ME AND MY WORDS
FOR THEY ARE NOT MY OWN
THEY BELONG TO THE ONE THAT SPEAKS THREW ME
THE ONE THAT WILL ALWAYS WIN
PREVAIL
THE ONE I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON
MY WORDS ARE HIS
WHEN HE ASK ME TO SPEAK
I SPEAK
SOMETIMES OUT OF TURN
AND HE THEN CORRECTS ME
SO I WON'T BE UPSIDE DOWN IN A WEB
LIFE'S WEB
GETTING INTERTWINED
INTERTWINED WITH THINGS I DON'T NEED
PEOPLE I DON'T NEED
THEY NEED ME
THOSE WHO HAVE ME NEED TO SEE
IF YOU DON'T I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU
WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE
YOU WILL WANT ME THERE FOR YOU AND WITH YOU
AND I WILL BE…GONE
…JUST LIKE THAT!
