Random SCRAPS #22: OTHER SIDE

Brought this all to my attention

Hurts regardless of intention

Used up -- my entire soul


My own problems intervention

Back again to no retention

Loss of -- everything's control 


Not feeling better anymore

Struck me down deep to the core

Paintings -- keeping it together


Hearts not warm arts got torn

Burnt inside out rusted worn

Pain stings -- will it last forever

...

In an instant life can change 

And all your dreams can slip away

Wondering what happened to your pride 


Because the one that you have become 

Is suddenly just like everyone 

Your Jekyll’s looking deep into your Hyde


The people that you used and laugh at

Taken advantage verbally spat at

The ones who just sat alone and cried


In an instant now they’re all gone here

You alienated now you all alone here

The world you knew has shriveled up and died


Welcome to the other side 

...

Placing blame exonerating

Spitting fire hot debating

What I see -- and hear here isn't clear


Watch the puppeteers operating

Long time they've been contemplating

Take ahold of what you have to fear


Fighting over dinner tables

We don't go by any labels

Stories of this institution


Doesn't feel mentally stable

Heads full of fantastic fables

Worries this is all an illusion

...

In an instant life can change 

And all your dreams can slip away

Wondering what happened to your pride 


Because the 1 that you have become 

Is suddenly just like everyone 

Your Jekyll’s looking deep into your Hyde


And the people that you used to laughed at

Taken advantage verbally spat at

The ones who just sat alone and cried


In an instant now they’re all gone

You alienated now your alone

The world you knew has shriveled up and died


Welcome to the other side.

...

You do bad things you learn a lesson

Cops or crooks leaders oppressing

Under arrest innocents die


Stripping rights caught undressing

Man unkind to self expressing

Souls possession time to seek or hide


Melanin in living colors

We're all human sisters brothers

Under covers shaking like a boot


There is only us no others

Over the moon star crossed lovers

Undercovers from the hip they shoot

...

In an instant life can change 

And all your dreams can slip away

Wondering what happened to your pride 


Because the 1 that you have become 

Is suddenly just like everyone 

Your Jekyll’s looking deep into your Hyde


And the people that you used to laughed at

Taken advantage verbally spat at

The ones who just sat alone and cried


In an instant now they’re all gone

You alienated now your alone

The world you knew has shriveled up and died
