I walk by shepherds
Not knowing
I’m a sheep
…when I wake
I dream dreams
Unbeknownst to me I’m sleep.
I’m alive
Yet I’m asleep
9 to 5
Is my life
Yet I proclaim that I’m so deep
.
In my heart I wanna feast
I wanna
Do more than eat
I wanna cook
Tired of being the ending in the book.
I’ve been rook
When will I stand like king
?
besides me is a queen
What can I do to heal her broken wing?
Can I rise again?
I’ve been a slave
But can I rise like tide again
Can I put down getting high again
So that our family can rise again
?
…I’m asleep
Unbeknownst to me I sleep
I think that I’m so deep
When I wake
All I want to do is sleep
.
In my heart I want to be a king
But it feels like I can only do that when I dream
.
In my mind I’m still a slave
King for me feels so far away
I’m expected to be misdirected
And misdirectedly I walk
.
So why are u surprised
That u see my outline
As u walk.
