Darkened night I came cryin'
wanting you to save me
i found you were lyin'
you can't save me

Life in your hands
what shall it be
shall i bow my head
and lose my humanity

forked tounge of pride
pokes out their eyes
blind leading the blind
Encaged is show despise
for the world that
wouldn't let me be
it stole my life
and now my life

Life in your hands
what shall it be
shall i bow my head
and lose my humanity

they stole our innocence
instealed within us pride
a neverending circulation
of man locked up inside
dealing with the passions
all they teach is lust
the norms have torn us down
our minds turned to rust
and i see

your life in their hands
you think you're free
you continue the search
but only He holds the key
aimlessly wondering in a sea of hate
worrying about your life
only seeing what you ain't


Life in your hands
what shall it be
will you hold your head high
and see what noone else can see

what do you need help with? a title?
seemed to be a poem about whether to choose God or man?


"Darkened night I came cryin'
wanting you to save me
i found you were lyin'"

i thing i need crying and lying unless you're going to sing it?


"you can't save me
Life in your hands
what shall it be
shall i bow my head
and lose my humanity"

life in your hands - too often used
lose my humanity - too much!


"forked tongue of pride
pokes out their eyes
blind leading the blind"

this verse is just one big cliche


"Encaged is show despise"

i have no idea what the above line is


"for the world that
wouldn't let me be
it stole my life
and now my life
Life in your hands
what shall it be
shall i bow my head
and lose my humanity"

thought i was losing my mind but you did repeat the humanity thing! is this a song?
did you mean for 3 "life"


"they stole our innocence
instealed within us pride"

another cliche, do you mean instilled?
stick to natural speech "within us" too antique.


"a neverending circulation
of man locked up inside
dealing with the passions
all they teach is lust
the norms have torn us down
our minds turned to rust
and i see
your life in their hands
you think you're free
you continue the search
but only He holds the key
aimlessly wondering in a sea of hate
worrying about your life
only seeing what you ain't"

sea of hate - oh dear!

i really strongly advise you to totally rework this poem or else give it the big heave ho.

thanks, carolyn
