Can I get a pass, from my wrongs? <br />Will you make me not forget? <br />Are you like a concrete mind, <br />That's permanently set? <br /> <br />Concrete mind won't wear out. <br />For when she has a crack. <br />She only fills in where it's split. <br />Your wrongs she'll always track. <br /> <br />I thought I would be honest <br />Lead a new way of life <br />To concrete mind this is a weapon <br />She'll use just like a knife <br /> <br />She'll just use it against you <br />You'll never live it down <br />Her life is like a circus <br />And you're the lonely clown <br /> <br />And when you try to fix <br />The things that have been broken <br />Concrete mind will take your wrongs <br />And use them like a token <br /> <br />Where did I go wrong you'll ask <br />In each and every way <br />So if you trip and stumble <br />Concrete mind will say: <br /> <br />“Go straight to jail, <br />Do not pass go <br />Be ashamed <br />You are so low <br />Just like scum, <br />You always rise <br />All of your truths <br />To me their lies <br />You past is now <br />You'll never change <br />Forgiveness a word <br />I find so strange <br />I will forgive <br />But not forget <br />My heart is hard <br />My mind is set <br />Show you mercy? <br />Show you grace? <br />Go find those things <br />Another place. <br />All you give. <br />I'll simply take. <br />I'll do this till, <br />Your will I break” <br /> <br />Concrete mind <br />Will you soften a bit? <br />I've tried so hard, <br />But I want to quit. <br /> <br />Like one step forward <br />And Ten steps back <br />You throw me a rope <br />Without any slack <br /> <br />Concrete mind <br />Can't you see <br />From your concrete prison <br />I can't break free <br /> <br />So concrete mind <br />I ask one last time <br />Will I ever pay the price <br />For my past crimes <br /> <br />Your concrete heart <br />Your concrete mind <br />Won't let me leave <br />My past behind<br /><br />Ryan Lee Morris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/concrete-mind-2/
