Chain Link

Chain Link 5/14/2014

Take your heart 

And lock it away

Somewhere safe

Untouchable and remote.

Where it cannot become

Infected, diseased

Twisted, and deadly

Like cancerous sores

Spreading in the air. 

I tried it different ways

And I sure learned some lessons

About what matters to man

And all that is wasted. 

I did what I was told

And I tried my best

But I was forgotten

And passed over.  

I tried to please

And I tried to win

But then I found out

That all the rules were weighted

And no one had a chance. 

I loved

But was left wanting

And I took the blame

But was left for dead.

When I needed

There was no one

And when I cried

No one cared. 

This is the world

That someone else wanted

But it is not the world

As it was created. 

You can let them have it

Without giving in

If you find a place to stand

And never surrender.

You can always opt out

And just say no

Taking everything with you

So the rest falls apart. 

They can knock down the walls

And they can kick in the door

But without us

It all crashes down

Worthless and dumb. 

Some people plan

And some people do

But all I have is dreams

That will never come true. 

But what is in me

Goes with me

Form one thing to another

And what I have

Cannot be stolen

Or duplicated. 

Let them search away

And let they try again and again

But they will never build

What I have already planned.  

Together we will build it

And it will never be done

Limitless, eternal

Above and beyond.
