Imagine

I wish you could understand
Where I stand
And how I got here
Forgive me for my thoughtlessness
Over the years
The nights I spent alone in the cold
Made the mold hold tight with resentment as my fear seemed to turn dull little by little until I seemed to have none at all
My heart grew heavy with rage and as it grew I fell
The cuts on my wrists I gave myself as a child with pain will remain for years
Why should a child be so at conflict there body becomes a field
Why as a woman with a voice must I yield
I have so many questions and so little time
Why are all my friends fucking dying
Yet the birds keep on flying
And the fish keep on swimming
My parents and I don’t get along
So I stay locked in my head with my radio playing John Lennon
Imagine a world at peace I would think
They would call me a idiot as they did him to say such a thing
Yet I still think and sit back
Imagining
Praying
Wondering
Hoping
That one day just maybe we could have a world at peace with happy children happy mother’s and fathers with happy lives
