Ba doo ah

Ba doo ah

A Poem by Nicolette Rose

it’s been the trial of a century
to have your eyes so deep inside me
i see the man that you’ll become
a soldier in a child’s eyes eager to break free
your home is no longer a home
but your smile makes me weep and i haven’t figured out why
you’re tortured inside and your heart is on the line
it’s on the corner of robbery drive.
i’ve been singing so long to a faceless love
but face came to fruition and my heart found yours
after searching on some unpaved road up 300 miles
the nature of dust and dirt and aches and anguish
i’ll leave the life i never needed
and kick aside all the pain
movement and sun, a new path i’ve chosen
a record of love, good should it last
i will never follow the roots on my jungle
strictly speaking i’ve never been told
i may never been too far from home
but it’s always a struggle to get out of bed
with all the thoughts that roll around my head
but it’s hard when i’m tired and i’m living a lie
while i wait for truth or reason
it’s just an excuse to f**k up my life
to waste away all my effort used thus far
the sun refuses to set for the day 
i open my eyes and every thing is the same
everything that glitters is made of plastic
my heart is heavy, but there is no reason to step on it
but it’s hard when i’m living afraid and i forget my own name
