Elements Of The Soul

by David Marshall   Sep 13, 2006


When the streaming vibe of sorrow strikes you,
what do you do?
Do you cry yourself to sleep,
until you soak your pillow.
Or do you cut your wrist deep,
watching your blood flow.

When the fragrance of joy jumps in your mind,
What are the thoughts that you find?
Ready to play,
and have fun with your friends.
Smiling all day,
because what life sends.

When your heart jumps with the feeling of love,
what and who do you think of?
The one you can hold,
notice beauty in their eyes as you stare.
With every sweet word told,
you treasure the moments you share.

When your consumed by the vulgar thoughts of despise,
what is it that you realize?
The anger built up inside,
almost about to burst.
When no longer can you bide,
worst comes to worst.

When the evil progresses with your greed,
What makes you think it;s what you need?
Sacrificing so much,
just to get what you desire.
It makes you lose your touch,
and turns you into a lier.

When your over come by painful pride,
how do you really feel inside?
Do you want to be cool,
because what others think.
Trying not to act a fool,
so consciously you wont sink.
