What I Got
Lost souls in my mind screaming out in pain
Hearing all this chaos allows my physical drain
No one for me to love, I’m so alone at night
I am tired of being alone and I can’t get my mind right
Living in this shell is so very hard to do
I tried to express my emptiness, but no one even knew
People thought I was happy without a care in my soul
No one would accept it, they thought I had a full bowl
But my bowl was empty, nothing in it at all
And the mattress I received would not cushion my fall
No anti-biotics to cure my infection
No compass was given to find my direction
No mental stability to find my peace
No ear protection was given to make the screams cease
No phone was given to reach out and touch someone
No bullets were given, but they still gave me a gun
They gave me tools but no material with which to build
The gave me no wells but they gave me buckets to be filled
They gave me a backpack filled with bricks inside
They put me in a desert and gave me ten seconds to hide
When I was dying of thirst they told me not to drink
The gave me this mind and then told me not to think
The gave me a license and told me not to drive
They gave me a life and told me not to survive
The gave me a pen and told me not to write
The gave me anger and told me not to fight
I guess the gave me a lot but I didn’t have the rest
I’m like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest
I guess with everything I get I want a little bit more
I guess my team won the game but I never got to score
