In My World


In my world Yes, look at me. It’s not all hugs and giggles or a candy sea In my world, There won’t be a rainbow or a pot of gold I’m a bit more complex. Let me show you a piece of my soul Think of me as a Tornado, With all the power and strength. You won’t see the anger coming; But you’ll know it when it’s me. Hidden behind a veil. Lost in shadow’s caress. Standing on the side lines, Watching everyone’s mess. An instinctual lore. Wisdom or folly? When it comes to love, Why waste my time when there’s more I’m looking for. Shed the tears, Wail and cry. But you won’t see a single drop from my eye Don’t get me wrong, I’m not cynical nor bitter. But your lies and deceit won’t work with me. I don’t like to carry around trash or litter. If I have nothing to say I won’t open my mouth Learn to read my body language And you wouldn’t want me to anyhow. There are 7 deadly sins Envy, greed Lust, anger Gluttony, sloth And Vanity All intriguing but not worth it in the end In my world, I know right from wrong. While thoughts of the latter, Dance all night long. You won’t see the twinkle in my eye Or what it means I’ll always chose right Or so it seems Silky and smooth Milk chocolate kisses Hot Jacuzzi On a cold winter’s night. I don’t need you But I need you to want me. Understand my thoughts And we could go a long way. In my world, I’m just a loner Waiting for my day. Passing the time With thoughts of what could be Maybe its you. Maybe its me.
