My Life

Give me my words;
for they understand,
the bruises I made
with the touch of my hand.

Hold back my arms;
unable to control.
Not knowing the strength
when the pain's let go.

Search deep in my eyes;
the brutal, raw emotions
seeps through the cries
never brought to the surface.

Take the realms of my mind;
hear what you can bear.
Realize these aren't lies,
but the real deal.

Taste the desires of my heart;
they are bittersweet.
Feel the beats like thunder.
That's how it rolls through me.

Give, hold, search, take, taste.
This is my life,
only take your plate

What it's basically saying is, don't judge me by your first look. Once you understand what goes on inside, then you can vouche your opinion. Until then, only take as much as you can handle.

Meaningful. I'll be honest; I didn't really fully understand it but, none the less, Meaningful.



When I use caps I do not want you to read it like a little screech, I want you to read it like a 5,000 year old ogre with the strength of 10,000 men.
