Black Sheep

All of your life
What’ve you tried to find
You’ve opened the door
But you’ve locked
Yourself inside
Blinded
By the light
The gold reflects
The sun back into your eyes
But your greed
Told you to lock the door
And slowly you regain
Your sight
There’s no where
For you to go
You’re left alone
With no food or water at all
But you’ve got
The fortune of a king
And nobody will ever know
Through the slit of
The door you count the
Cycles of dark and light
Hoping that someday
Someone will find you
Offer to give you
A way out for a price
Before you dry up
And shrivel away
And as it turns out
He shows his face this night
He is the ghost of
Your former self
He says I’ll show you the way
But you will pay
Every last dime
You gave
It all away
In exchange for the way
Your life used to be
And you question
Making a mistake
But I’m afraid that it’s too late
This organ that is
Caged inside
Hinders my sight
Once in love
With a black sheep
Underneath my bedsheets
I toss and turn
Then one day learn
Life’s too short
To be selfless
You’ve sheared that wool
Now end it
