On Our Own

[LisS1001]

On Our Own

 

We spend the hours slaving away

To prove to the world we can make it through the day

We hide our faults, conceal the truth

Underneath it all is our only proof

We make them want us more and more

But beyond all that is false is a closed, bolted door

We lie to ourselves to be loved for an hour

To give us a sense of false hope and power

We turn from Jesus cause He "won't understand"

So a stupid boy will hold our hand

We need to wipe off our faces and change our clothes

To show the world we can make it on our own

So i'm gonna write a poem now

 

So i'm gonna write a poem now

Nothing too soft or sweet

Not one of those poems about love or peace

Just the kinda poem that makes me me

 

So i'm gonna write a poem now

If only i knew where to start

Nothing too plain or cliche

But nothing too happy or bright

 

So i'm gonna write a poem now

I wonder what to say

Or should i just put my pen down

And write another day

 

So i'm gonna write a poem now

Not another poem about you

I'm really getting sick of those

I think you are too
