To be a rose
A women's woes
Grounds will quake
Emotional wreckage
Toll is mine to take
You're too deep
The masses call
How do they wonder
Why the kingdom did fall
Pour on me
Your expectations
There's shit to do
Can't be hesitations
Demanding functionality
It's all a joke
We need reprieve
Not another toke
Open your eyes to the burn out
Complete fracture
Struggle is real
Sanity I strive to capture
Peace is elusive
Rest a fiction
My self security a ghost
My life a walking contradiction
Soul aches to be heard
Body restless to be free
Holes in the sky cry out
No one would want to be me
