Baby Eyes

They say, that for someone
So young
I have a mind
So aged
But it's nothing to gasp at
I grasp at
Straws while fighting
For an unknown cause
No need to applause
I'm covered in flaws
Spare me the clap
I rap on a stage
Dressed black
And no... words
Aren't the only loving
Things I wrap
These emotions I keep bound
Like a caged beast
That if unleashed
It could ruin a continent
Or maybe it could ruin my conscience
And...my mind
As if my mind wasn't already breaking
I'm steadily staking my life
On time, thinking that in time
It'll get better
It could only get better
But what do I find
Broken down hallways
Turn back signs
And a stage
Dressed black
For someone so young
That's a sight to gasp at
