shake it offA Poem by m.s.early
When I had the devil on my back
They said shake it off When I was looking for heaven And found the devil in me They prayed a little harder It was hard to dance It was hard to breathe And I couldn't shake it off I learned happiness hurts Shake it off I was trampled under the hooves of nightmares Shake it off I was buckled and bound Shake it off I can't wake up They said I'd be better by now I just can't © 2018 m.s.earlyReviews
