Walking and whistling

I spoke some words
I've done some wrongs
Seen some things...
I've heard an outcry
Stayed silent...
And watched spirits die.
I've heard so many things
All about me...
Made me cry
From the things said about me
Rattlesnake protect my shack
Keep the rats at bay
Whereas they invite the cats
That are afraid of the dogs
That are owned by the people
That despise me most...
Father forgive me of my sins
Allow me some peace
Just so I can stop shaking
So embarrassed of my convulsions
That I hide in the dark
Move in silence
Over criticize my worth
So I smile
Just to contain my hurt
Disappointments are my reality
My dreams
Have harvested my nightmares
So I move about with my head hung low
Walking and Whistling
