“Some Pieces Are Gone”
(Tom Entrican 8-24-22)
He woke up exhausted so long, long ago
And something just did not seem right
Why this was, the young man did not know
With sleep but a stranger through the night
He was different, he knew from others around
With nothing but fears, remained withdrawn
Retreats to his space, no others allowed
It felt like some pieces were gone
Mom don’t understand, and dad does not care
With no guidance he grows into himself
He becomes a man who is not aware
And he sits all alone on the shelf
Few friends in his life, he is different by far
No love, and as cries until dawn
He self medicates as he strums his guitar
‘Cause he knows that some pieces are gone
As he starts to grow old he tries to hold on
To his faith the gives him the glue
Still hard to remain what some call sane
It is Heaven that he now pursues
Few understand what it takes not to cry
For someone who was built slightly wrong
He is just this way for he does not know why
He was born with so many pieces gone
