Would my heart hurt less if I kept it close
Would I travel thru life without the anger of people
Would I deflect the insults I hear
Could I deny the powers the lives inside me
Could I close the doors to the passion that's sealed inside this body
If I die would the world that has not yet known me mourn me
Could I see the world in a different view if my name wasn't given
Could I seal my fate by seeing thru the eyes of the shallow and meaningless
Could I shut the doors of my heart with ease like man/woman
With all of this could I pour no rhyme or flow
Could my words not pierce thru the pressure of today's youth
What meaning are my words of the eyes that are needed don't read them
So I ask all of this and say I am lost
I preach to empty seats
A choir that does not back me in a A & B selections
I say things that no open ears would listen to
The love I put out is turned down like folding of the newspaper
I feel like I have been shot down by the ignored crowd that surrounds me
As I take steps to prove my worth
No one is looking to congratulate me on my accomplishments
I sit here and wonder about the decisions made
To read my pains out loud
To write down all of my anguish
But no one answers me
I cherish each day like its my last
But the people are the signal that I am a live
Without them I am invisible or maybe I have been
Refusing to accept my place in the back of the church
If I fade away today would anyone care
Could God give me the chance to look down at my funeral
To see the fake among the real
Would I see the tears of questions flow
Who is she
When did she die
She was the best head I have ever gotten
Fading....fading....
Would my words be cherish or would they fade like the fashion of yesterday
I ask so much yet my questions are not answered
I am shadow among the star
A under study seeking a chance at the spotlight
Even the one of choice has his freedom with his lady of choice
Its not him and I or he and me
Its now him and her or he and she
That she isn't me
But as I fade I do not feel remorse for my heart
I am sad but no regrets
I have shared this love once before
Now I see this path is never-ending
Drifting on a memory that was me
Saying goodbye to everyone silently
An hear me whispering for attention
Listen.......before its too late
Sincerely Yours,
Shhhhh
