Too Cool To Be A Fool


Eyes that fall upon me- Their weight pushing me to the ground Eyes becoming steely hands, now tightening their grip around my neck. Stolen breath, I can't make a sound. I'm here for my appointment; yet, nowhere am I found. Shackled from head to toe. Head to toe I'm BOUND BOUND to find happiness once again someday. BOUND to give tongue to voice, to speak the words I need to say. Help me someone....cause I'm trapped so deep inside. Waves of tears I've cried. Feeling as if I'm a lonely old fool- Still putting on a smile, and playing it cool.
