A plate of glass

 

 

hit a tender nerve

 

as if you haven't heard

 

what a disturbing word

 

time is on our side by in time

 

we all want to run away & hide

 

from the notion of love

 

springs from help from above

 

tend to push things under the rug

 

hearing voices with tender choices

 

can't even cope with hope

 

like having a fight with the soap on the rope

 

yet I'm doing my thing in the evil swing

 

nothing but a plate of glass

 

right out on the patio

 

the weaker you get inflates your ego

 

 

 

a song in silence

 

a hymn in private

 

words expressed words unheard

 

life is but a contest

 

it's filled with tests I must confess

 

some are left behind an eight ball

 

from that of a know it all

 

but you will know when your number is up

 

now at a good angle the plate glimmers in the light

 

never give up on the fight
