Silver Lining

It's been a long time since a good song inspired some lines...#Philly

Silver Lining

If I'm looking up don't mind me

But I can't be, (I just can't be) I can't be down no more

And if you don't know where to find me

I'm out looking

I'm looking for the silver lining...

I was just a down to Earth chick

grounded by a world beating on her wings

blinged out wingspan

I could no longer pilot them things

In the same cage with the bird that sings

I was plummeting

somewhere between the sky and the floor

my ability to soar became no more

My back was sore

My heart was torn

My spirit was scorned

All black everything

 mourn

Jumped off the cliff too soon trying to fly

and be live

took a nosedive and died

Body was the vegetable

but resurrection came to mind

Asked the Devil to rip up the deed to my soul

asked my higher power to roll away the stone

checked my moral compass for the direction I should’ve flown

Before my mind became blown..

Brain Matter on the wall 

scraped into a Solo cup

We’ve all seen red

so put your solos up

Singing with the choir

and my solo’s coming up

head hung so low I can’t look up

I was just a down to Earth chick 

grounded by a world beating on her wings

I was a knight with no armor but covered in chinks

Heckle and Jeckle picking over me

magpies and vultures nitpicking me

Rose thorns and daggers sticking me

A down chick, on the ground chick

and now they’re kicking me

So if I’m looking up don’t mind me

But I can’t be

Can’t be down no more

And if you don't know where to find me

I'm out looking

I'm looking for the silver lining...
