Building Rom Vol.114

Illusion of peace

Do you like the victim card so,

That you bow beneath the weight of the weak?

Do you fear the strength you hold,

Afraid of what they’d do if you reign indeed?

Do you grow bored with victory’s gleam,

So you lay my neck down in a silent dream,

To bear the unspeakable, quiet and cold,

Trading power for stories untold?

Oh how your shadow echos – Go

But you fear to loose the illusion of peace

Building Rom Vol.76

You got me, Almost

I feel like I want to hide away,

Like a wounded dog, led astray.

I feel like I need 365 days,

But I can’t afford to, to stay in this haze.

Instead, I have to let it go,

Trusting I’ve understood the show.

The world doesn’t need me, right?

Your point was made, you won the fight

But now, it’s your perception, I find.

Cause when I step out with a smile so bright,

With my head held high, steady light.

With abs in a six-pack, chest out proud,

The birds start singing, no longer cowed.

When I smile, the rain retreats,

When I dance, money greets.

When I speak, jaws do drop,

Maybe I don’t need flops

In my world, I’m on top.
