All That I Heard

-All That I Heard-
by

Sounds
Pounds
Weights
That I must carry
What a load
I’m so damn tired
All that I heard
When I was a child
Voices speaking evil
Telling me
That I’m unwanted
Not meant to be
From day one they screamed
And from that day on
I have listened
The pleads for freedom
Spoken by me
Went unanswered
The cries for help
Shouted loud
Went unheard
By all others
God above was silent
The Devil below didn’t know
Truly I was all alone
I was a lamb
Being chased by wolves
Time and again
They caught me
Consuming what I needed
Leaving them full
Leaving me starving
Again and again I ran
As far as I could
But each time I arrived
They would be there
Waiting for me
All that I heard
Has transcended the time
Since then and now
Sounds
Pounds
Weights
That I must carry
What a load
I’m so damn tired
I wish things could be different
But they can and never will be
I have suffered most
Because as it was said
Spelled out loud and clear
Examples lent via fear
That I am not suppose
To be here…
