The Island Of Misfit Toys

The Island Of Misfit Toys

A Poem by Battlecry
"

A song I wrote about the misfits of society.

"

~♥~

We might

Not have

The brass knuckles to fight you back

We might

Not have

The greatest self-esteem here in misfit land

~♥~

But We

Have a chance

A will

A need

To stand

~♥~

Welcome to the island of misfit toys

And here our dreams, have been destroyed

This is the island of misfit toys

Our souls ripping from the seams

~♥~

Listen here all you girls and boys

And take this simple, advice from me

~♥~

We don’t need any constant reminders

We don’t need, to be told

All our faults and all our problems

We don’t need, you to scold

~♥~

We don’t need a constant whispering under the bed saying, you’re not enough

Because it’s already

In

Our

Heads

~♥~

Well the stuffed dogs tongue has fallen off

And the Jack in the Box, can no longer pop

The little engine well it lost its’ steam

And the toy cars tires can’t be redeemed

~♥~

Oh, this is the island of misfit toys

Where all our dreams, have been destroyed

This is the island of misfit toys

Our souls ripping from the seams

Oh we know, you all agree…

~♥~

Here’s the lion standing loud and tall

But he can no longer roar, not at all

Here’s the snake slithering on across

But it can’t hiss, it can no longer stalk

A stuffed little rabbit that can no longer bounce

All it can do, is wriggle about

This is the island of misfit toys

Ripped up all our threads

Our self-esteem destroyed

~♥~

Welcome to the island of misfit toys

Where all our dreams, have been destroyed

This is the island of misfit toys

Our souls ripping from the seams

This is the island of misfit toys

But we still will stand, this is our domain

This is our island of misfit toys

Where we will move along…

Nothing else, can go wrong

~♥~

I adore the fact that I can knit together a blanket of emotions using nothing more than an object to write with and my own mind. Music and passion are what drives my soul to ignite. To be the best.. more..
