I Fooled You All

by Bridie   Nov 3, 2004


Do I own this life I’m living
Or do I have to pay the rent?
When I hold all this anger,
Friends being my only vent

How do I belong,
In a world that is so cruel
How do I belong,
When I’m taken for a fool?

Welcome to my world,
Get ready to be unknown
To fall behind a shadow
And become so alone

People look at me, and
Sense nothing wrong
But everyone I’ve loved
Has been fooled all along

Step into my country
Where the light is surely dimmer
And hope is so far away
In the eye it’s only a glimmer

My life is at the suffering of others
Or that’s how I’m made to feel
I never asked for any of this
For any of it to be real

    Loved it!
    It had a nice flow!
    Excellent structure.

    And I loved this stanz:
    Step into my country
    Where the light is surely dimmer
    And hope is so far away
    In the eye it’s only a glimmer

    Love
