Right of Passage
Feeling nothing, I’m an empty shell,
Scorching my earth, living in this hell,
Walking alone, I stand tall,
Little big world, I’m still so small,
Hell burns hot, scorching my skin,
Flames burn long, burning deep within,
Fires burn thoughts, deep in my head,
Like this gun, the bullet full of lead,
Piercing skin, through my life,
Severed wrists, blood on the knife,
Feather falls, from a bird in flight,
Choose your weapon, it’s time too fight,
One last wish, you’d have more time,
Knife in your hands, the gun in mine,
Angel prays, for God to forgive,
Choices we make, on how we should live,
People who care, and the feelings they fake,
Another chance, to make one more mistake,
A lead betrayal, for the deceit,
A bloody end, to life’s retreat,
Another dead, a forgotten face,
No one left, to plead my case,
Alone I sit, trial without a jury,
Faces throughout, not one to worry,
Dead silent, not a word,
Cold dead, no one is heard.
