MY LIFE IS ALL I OWN

 


 

My life is my own.

 

It is all I have

and what I own.

 

In this world

I am all alone.

Whether I sit on a golden throne

or stand on broken stones.

 

My life is mine

and mine alone.

 

I will sing my songs

without a tongue

and broken bones.

 

For my life is mine

and mine alone.

 

Although the day may come

to pay the Grim Reaper’s loane.

I will keep my pride

and treasure my life.

 

With no where to lay my head

and call my own.

I am all but still alone.

 

Forever traveling on my long lonely road,

but the life I can claim is still my own.

 

Whether I eat bitter bread

or swallow brimstones.

My life is still mine and mine alone.

 

I will lament my tears in this little poem.

Sing and morn

my song of a personal throne.

Till the peak of the cone

come crashing down

 

to make equitable rune

in this familiar town.

For upon this land

I stand,

I still stand alone.
