To Defy Nurture & To Exceed Nature 17.10.13
She broke away from the physical
And lived through her soul
It was never going to be easy for you
Kind & Brave
Your mother went into labour
Courageous & Compassionate
With a black eye and two ribs bruised
The Destroyer
An adolescence continued
With more bad news
So many would have longed to crawl back into the womb
With no standards of influence
It's all lessons and lows
Learning the hard way
If she comes out alive
Then she must be more alive than most
Growing up
Becomes a case
Of how much can you take?
When a parents words are packed with venom
Which sees the spirit break
Whatever saved her must have come from deep inside her mind
For her physical mentors knew little of what it is to be kind
With no standards of influence
It's all lessons and lows
Do you want to tell me a story?
Do you want to spin me a lie?
I know you
And I can't see any truth in your eyes
He smiles and pats me on the back
But I can see the knife tied to his thigh
His words are deep and exact
But I have heard them a thousand times
Really he's saying to me,
‘Follow me, oh, follow me’
Like a child holding fathers hand
Smiling and laughing,
but you don’t know his plans.
Your smiling and laughing,
but you don’t know his plans
He bought out the Garden of Eden
So he could dig an entrance to Hell
And his victims... erm, I mean friends!
That is where, that is where they dwell
Rising from the lows
But you, my friend, will not destroy me
I have met you and your kind
But I have yet to decide
Do I gain or lose a bit of myself every time?
I definitely know
That I’m always leaving something behind... Top of Form
What do we behold?
Bottom of Form
Learning the hard way
If she comes out alive
Then she must be more alive than most
A passion for life
She knows so much of what can be
She is the happy ending
While most of us would have died off in the tragedy
