Breaking things

Bursting bubbles

Causing troubles

Breaking silence 

Screaming at the world

Screaming my head off

In my head, I never break your spirit

In my head, I never make you cry

I know that’s not what I am doing 

I open my eyes

I see broken things

Wrecked, lie blinded in an infirmary 

Breaking your heart

Convincing myself it’s not committing a crime

I can run but I can not lie low from breaking things

I envy you

You are changing lives

You are so good to me I know but I can not change

I am a villain with the habits of a culprit 

A crook with no thoughts of guilt

 I live my life like a desperado looking for trouble

You are so good to me I know but I can not change

You look at me with eyes full of hope

Time brings hope

Hope keeps breaking my true grit

Today I wept

Regained consciousness 

You must be so confused

I kept the wolf locked inside 

Chained and shackled inside 

Her thoughts are safer inside 

I don’t know how long I can keep her hooked inside

Breaking chains and bonds inside

 Never fetched the chance to say my last goodbye

Today I wept

It’s time to go

You with child

 I could scent that little angel the minute I walked in 

Is there anything more wonderful than the promise of a new child

Breaking the room of tears 

Her skin like peaches 

Breaking family ties

The secret is community

She sleeps through the night 

A bird in flight

I lie awake  With brooding eyes, I lie awake  I lie awake at night thinking about all the blood spilled in my street alone  Everything they ...
