Analysis of My Deep Song of Strength
I'm sorry I can't be as deep as you,
my eyes don't see things the way you do
I don't have the sadness in my life,
that you carry around
Yes I'm lonely too, but maybe
not as much you
For being wronged has me made strong
So I carry on, I will speak my Song,
I will never change the way I'am,
my song speaks volumes of who I am
I'm mentally strong more than most,
I dare you to coast the roads I've tread
Some of you, would surely have fled
My mind has been battered and beaten,
but not out
Sharp as I tack it remains,
in a battle of wits with me,
you had better bring brains
This Song it speaks of sweetness,
beyond mushy, love never pushy,
and some one who truly hopes to gain,
a inner understanding of you,
and why you came
Came to be my friend
A friend to the end maybe I dunno
My Song tells you I been through it too,
the heartache and the pain
Shame I thought would never end,
until life brought me some true blue friends
This Song also tells you,
I see humor in all things death and life
Strife is part of life,
things were not meant to be easy
This Song also tells you I'm cheesy,
I'm a goof and a prank,
I'm a total smart ass think tank.
I love everyone and try to offend none
The things I say and talk about,
I have been through myself,
so the next time you judge me,
look at yourself
This is not perfect, but it is my Song,
and will be my Song forever long
