Beware your only friend

Beware

Print without graphics

i want to be
your olnly friend
is that scarry?
my active mind
donâ€™t wish it so
watch out for
these silent thoughts
thatâ€™s where the seed of soul-sucking grows

when each who comes around you takes some of your life
thatâ€™s when i get angry, an outfit for my fright

you want to be
my daughter
come sit up on me
i hate it
but itâ€™s so
i wanted you
as my mother
cheering me
as i go

when each who comes around you takes some of your life
thatâ€™s when i get angry, an outfit for my fright

picture us lounging
just sitting and listening
and loving what we hear
that has never happened
we both flail too much
we flail too much
to let the other near

i want to be
your only friend
beware of me
my quiet mind is
not fit to lead
take the warning
iâ€™ve seen fit to lend
and from the stage we
now be free
