John Lee

Same Rhyme

On the mantel sits the ashes of my dog 

And his favorite bone

 

He was the last piece of everything I love

And now he\'s gone 

 

Just like everyone whoever made me feel 

As if I belong 

 

Now it\'s a struggle to make it through

Knowing I\'m alone 

 

As a kid I wished for the day when

I\'m finally grown

 

Now I hate it, life is only chess

And I\'m just a pawn

 

I often fantasize of a time when

I\'m finally home 

 

Will it be peaceful? peace is something 

I\'ve never known 

 

Is there a sea to sail? Is there even wind

To be blown 

 

Enough of the same rhymes like 

The seeds I\'ve sown 

 

Sick of the same damn harvest 

Of all the wrongs

 

This line is the last rhyme before 

I change the psalm.
