Cotton In The Grass

How can you see the sky
while the grass grows over
and the trees give you cover
Cotton in the grass are you shy?

Do you hide from rain
as it fills every pore
leaves you heavy and soar
Cotton in the grass life is pain.

Did the wind blow too long
while you held on so tight
let the world be the fight
Cotton in the grass hold on strong.

Does it feel good to know
that if the sun should go
And leave you alone for the night

That the world beat you low
you will reap what you sow
A new day will bring you new light

Vacuumous Gap

There is a hole that bears upon my soul
Like a vacuume sucking in all the frivality
Not god nor love nor money fills this space
i am the empty place that burdens this reality

And from the womb, inquiring to my tomb
And never has faith been my companion
Not in god nor love nor money has been secure
Regarding faith's allure, the blind man's champion.

If I was blind, eyes to never test my mind
Or maybe i am better built to just be mute
Not god, nor love, nor money hears my payers
Too many layers, words bear no fruit.

i feel as though that sinking place can not be filled with things.
I am the missing gap that pulls.
I am the pain that stings.
