Lines to a Forgotten Soldier

[zupheal]

Me?
I’ve played in the streets,
I’ve broken my toys.
I’ve lived with the heat,
Ran with the big boys.
I’ve been with the people,
Making all that goddamned noise.
I’ve shoveled my game,
I made my own name.
But…
All that I had,
Is nothing I want.
And all that I want is nothing I’ve seen.
I’ve been so lost,
That I’d forgot where I’d been.
I’ve buried myself with sin after sin.
I’ve gotta get out.
Need to get away.
Need to be me.
I’ll find my way.
I’m gonna be free.
I’m nobody’s bitch,
Tho I’ve been there before.
I won’t trip up,
Because of some whore.
I’m struggling now,
But I’ve struggled before.
Life is a fight,
Once you step thru the door.
Gotta man up,
Gotta be who you are.
Cuz that game you keep running,
Wont take you too far.
I’ll stand on my own…
I’ll lay that game down…
I’m gonna get out,
Of this one horse fucking town.
