THERE'S A REASON
There's a reason I was born where the footpath met
That life takes from me more than I get
A reason I dreamed of what's so easy
Like walking the street with my naked feelings
The reason I sing but nobody listens
For they hear not the voice of someone dreaming
The reason I speak the truth and turned out to be the fool
There's a reason I couldn't move the mountain
That I cry not for myself but my legacy all days
There's a reason I don't make vows
Because the ones I made to abstain, yet I bow
There's a reason dogs won't squeak, snakes won't bark
Ice won't heat, eyes won't smell and hands won't fart
There's a reason I'm not as big as Zuma
The same reason I was left in the cage with a Puma
There's a reason I draw the road picture
But never look exactly like the one at the junction
The reasons I listen to fairy tales
Good to hear but far away from the truth
The reason I am me but not you
For it's good to be hated for being me than loved for being you
There's a reason I was given a thousand names
While I see it all as a false game
The reason I heard more words than action
The truth, the evil of all man could act on
There's a reason man will sleep and never rise
Will never come alive after eaten a bowl of rice
Indeed, A reason man has to life isn't enough
Than a reason he needs to survive
This is nice. I like how you described your inner voice wanting to speak for its cause or reason for existence either given audience or not.
