Stolen Water

by Jemma   Jun 16, 2006


Breathing used to be so easy
But everything has to change
When all you've gotta do
Is live off stolen water

When you're so young
I never saw the years catching up with me
You never do
When you're drinking stolen water

Used to live like a child
It's the only way to live
Knowing tomorrow means nothing
As longs as you have today
Everything will stay the same

But you always start losing hope
You always do when you lose it all
And clinging to a flimsy belief
Is not gonna save you from the wind
You always get blown away
When you're living off stolen water

Nothing to call my own
Only stolen water
To wet my frozen lips
For each dreary day
Nothing to call my own
Only stolen water
That's all there is

    I like your style. My only problem with the poem is it seems that you start repeating the phrase "stolen water" too much near the end. Yes, I realize it's not a long poem, but I think a few less of the "stolen water" lines would go a long way to making the poem stellar. It's already awesome. :)
