					<description><![CDATA[<p>Maybe when you hear me speak You miss my despair so bleak, My person, my one true love Can&#8217;t hear me from way high above, He&#8217;s left, and I&#8217;m not sure if he&#8217;s coming back I pray and wish for it to stop, but the grip has a very tight lock, There were times we laughed and loved But it&#8217;s replaced with a life so rough, My heart bleeds from the inside But no one can hide, From the hardship it brings To our once happier lives.</p>

<p>I’m Tired.<br />
with a Capitol T, hard-wired.</p>
<p>It’s not just the hours,<br />
that the work requires.</p>
<p>Our babies are killing each other<br />
and themselves for what? Power?</p>
<p>They say change happens slowly<br />
when human nature is revolting,</p>
<p>Against the stories they have been told<br />
just work harder and maybe you will get some Gold.</p>
<p>So we flash our worth in cars, clothes, and our 45’s<br />
thinking that makes us “really” alive</p>
<p>It makes a bang so loud<br />
making men feel so proud,</p>
<p>of their hate<br />
they think makes them great.</p>
<p>We don’t seem to see other humans,<br />
even dead bodies numb our feelings.</p>
<p>Even those who preach love,<br />
turn on each other and kill the dove.</p>
<p>I’m Tired.<br />
With a Capitol T, hard-wired.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is another day<br />
to hope we learn to love and play</p>
