cut the deck and deal it blind
transparent's hard to have to find
ice is warm when we are cold
invisible's hard to have to hold
smiles hard enough to bequeath
when there's nothing underneath
hard to have faith in things above
when there's nothing left to love
sleep, baby, sleep
the days seem longer when you weep
cry, baby, cry
the river rages, bleeding dry
it's hard enough to be a saint
when everyone has lost the faith
hard enough to face the fears
when the illusions disappear
hush, now, bow your head
there are worse things yet to dread.

Interesting. Quite a disturbing lullaby.

I do very much like the theme of this work. i was just wondering if the meter is different on purpose? I found myself stumbling at some places. I am no expert on meter, I jst wondered if it was done on purpose?

actually, this was just one of those poems i started writing in the middle of 2nd period geometry and once i started, things just came popping into my head. im trying to figre out some music to maybe turn it into a song, but i kindof shifted the meter's a bit and even im not quite sure why. still working on it- if you could provide suggestions/advice, let me know!thanks!!!
