No One's Left

by Danielle   Jun 30, 2004


I'm a slice of cake
It might just be easier for me
To just burn at the stake
Than just to let me break

Break free from reckless chains
That are always holding me down
I can't let go to comprehend
This life no one understands

They only hear the words
Hurt, jealousy, and power
What about the courage
To take in the rest of the surge?

I've tied the surge together
And hoped it would work
But it left everything weathered
It took all the feathers

All the light feathers, gone
They ran away from emotions
And now they'll never get along
Because soon I won't belong

What happened to the memories
That filled walls with flowers
And the honey-coated bees
Killed with one small plea

Tornados wreck and whirl
But I thought friendship lasted
Even through the mixed swirls
Could it survive the outside world?

I've tasted this aroma
But thought nothing of it
I didn't know this much drama
Could bring along so much trauma

Opinions turn to arguments
And bystanders try to find
Solutions to all the torment
Middle ears grab what was meant

It's been ignored by cold demands
All the meaningless remarks
And swings of coarsed hands
But now no one will understand

What is felt inside
Where no one reaches in
There's no one to confide
So somewhere, someplace, some person is left to hide.
