Breaking Broken
What is broken?
He knows.
He knows exactly what broken is.
See, not many people have lived broken,
Breathed broken
woke up to broken and sleep broken.
But he, he WAS broken.
He was a lost cause
the forgotten,
the beaten down, bruised and left for dead
He was the the worthless,
the meaningless,
the one who gets chewed up and spit out
EVERY TIME!
He was the gullible ,
A waste of time,
but just bold enough to pick himself back up
just to get knocked right back down
and BAMMM
he's on the ground again.
To be knocked back down so many times ,you would think he just wouldnt get up
you would think with the world so bad he would finally have had enough
stay down, boy
just stay down!
Is it ignorance?
Mere stupidity?
No, it must be insanity
that blow after blow,
break after break
he is back on his feet.
Now this my friend is broken
so, What drives broken?
What motivates broken?
What pushed broken to get back up
after being kicked to the curb by a world that couldnt care less
that makes and fakes
and promises and lies
and hurts and kills and cheats and breaks
A world that breaks.
Ask him why.
I'm sure he will tell.
But you, you won't get it.
his words would simply be wasted.
but ask if you dare.
let him serenade you in concepts that will blow your mind,
let him open doors,
let him shatter windows,
let him speak,
let his voice be heard beyond lost ,
beyond forgotten ,
beyond beaten down,
beyond bruised,
beyond broken!
let his truth roar,
let it roll through the masses,
let it be heard,
let it sing,
let it shout,
let it dance,
let it be free!
And suddenly,
in the blink of an eye,
at the drop of a hat,
Bammmm!
He is no longer a waste of time.
no, now he is time.
Now his voice,
his words
are timeless.
He is strong
he is mighty
He is intelligent
He has broken his broken
He is free.
