19,000 Lbs.

A Poem by Derek Owens
"

A song composed by Derek Owens.

"
Nobody can know what its like
To see this world bent through my eyes
Oh, my hands had fallen to my side
When I finally opened up my eyes

*I'm so alone but I can't let it show
That I am breaking
I'm so confused and it's all 'cause of you
I'm shaking and making
Broken bones turned from every stone
My heart is finally pulverized
Can you tell me, oh, how to fix then grow
And stand up inside

Does anybody else know what its like?
To love 'em like they're everything in life
Then to lose it all and have to hide
Hide from everyone, but mostly from the feelings inside
Can you tell me how much it takes to break bones?
You dropped the weight of the world on my shoulders and my soul
Have you ever felt that way, ever felt overwhelmed by pain?
Have you ever seen that day where the skies bleed grey

*I'm so alone but I can't let it show
That I am breaking
I'm so confused and it's all 'cause of you
I'm shaking and making
Broken bones turned from every stone
My heart is finally pulverized
Can you tell me, oh, how to fix then grow
And stand up inside

[I can't
Help but think about, everything you said to start
And I am, 
Too much of this and that, too many acquired scars
Its just 18,999 lbs too much to work this out
One little push from ash to dust and my whole body just crashes down
Every little things reminds me of you
I see stars, see lights, and think of what you'd do
If you were with me, just us, would you you believe?
I'd take it all back if the chance came to me
But, that don't happen, 'cause this is life its not the movies
Yeah, reality's laughing, 'cause no other girl's gonna move me]

Like you do
Like you do

*I'm so alone but I can't let it show
That I am breaking
I'm so confused and it's all 'cause of you
I'm shaking and making
Broken bones oh oh
Broken bones oh oh
Broken bones turned from every stone
My heart is finally pulverized
Can you tell me, oh, how to fix then grow
And stand up inside

I've had several accounts on this before but I decided to abandon them along with the rest of my life. I am an intelligent boy in adolescence and am artistically inclined. I write, compose music, and .. more..
