Cages (Song written by me)

Cages (Song written by me)

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

This is a work in progress song.

"

I got secrets in my shelf that i'm keeping from myself

I got multiple levels of the devil, i'm needing her help.

I call it free speech, you call it profanity.

You plant insults like seeds, which grows into my insanity.

Inside i'm part pacifist,ask me this, i don't wanna hurt you.

But you wanna hurt me, See? Scars, What did i do to you?

All i did was just answer, the question she hands me.

And as soon as i talk back, it's hands up, i'm head deep.

In this dictation of power, i die 5 times,  but i can't sleep.

The taste of dirt is sour, I'm screaming, but i can't speak.

And as my life fades, i know i got to get away.

And if i choose to stay, it's just deciding my own fate.

I would die for you, but i live for you, You're my drug, my obsession.

And if i ever tell you different, i'm on a different one called aggression.

I just..

*Chorus*

I knew i'd fall, but not that you'd leave

You were my only choice, i died, you recieved.

No heartbreak, you're heartless, For god's sake.

Would you at least warn me before you lock me in a small cage?

*Chorus end*

 

I got secrets in my shelf that i'm keeping from myself

I got a heart beating from the debts of hell, but i think i'm breathing well.

I'm out of happiness and souls that i can sell for myself

Nice flow of words. I could feel the emotion and the song in the words. Hard to create song. You did. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
