abstract

My words are abstract like forged pieces of art
They look unrealistic yet come straight from the heart
I remove painful imagery to prevent damage to eyes
The words that were here would hurt – not provide
A route to success or happiness we’re all seeking
Yet we find that our minds are slow and weaving
In and out of zones of yes and no’s, right and wrongs
So far we have gotten and yet not very far along
My real friends are the family I chose for myself
I didn’t really choose them, they were there to help
So why not let me help you now, anything at all
I see an opportunity to build our unity so let me call
I confessed my sins and you don’t answer the phone
I thought your advice was “I’m here when you’re alone”.

The saga continues the tale unwinds and the story told
Repetition of the past, it’s a remake of the days of old
Reminiscent yet the present is livid with the vision seeing
The faults of each other we fail to cover as human beings
I’ll lock it up and throw away the key, only to find that he
Had the duplicate copy, opened it up and released the bird
Who took my message to people who listened, but didn’t hear.
