How can one become so broken

reduced to nothing but a token

of society

variety

has been taken away

every day the same as the next day

a passenger on the road that was once my highway

party's over dude...catch ya later

we're cruising off to chase our dreams it seems

on the flip side...spectator

A child in despair unable to repair

the damage that's been done

a child on the run

disbelief

abusing drugs for relief

"this non-conforming runaway

needs reforming right away

let's crush his soul for his own protection

allow his bowl to flow with rejection"

and resistance...

for you failed to drown out the call of the drum in the distance

A free spirit up for sale

to any lover with a similar tale
