She Fell Behind


She said she was strong but was really weak.

She tried happiness but never seemed to find it.

Life never seemed easy for her.

Why does everything go so wrong?

I need to find love to save me from falling behind.

Take me to heaven where I know I can find myself.

Can there be peace in my universe or will I roam the world looking for the soothing 

breeze of acceptance.

Tell me I'll be safe in the arms of my lover.

The Violence that surges through my mind is biblical.

Where is the humanity that once had the land full of celebration?

the girl I saw no longer understand why everything

has become so difficult to consume emotionally.

I live my life guided by the colors of the wind. I walk the path that never existed until I was born. Does that make any sense? No! Fuck it! I love you!
