A lion can be load with his roar,but a writer can wisper just as loud with his soul.

A lion can be load with his roar,but a writer can wisper just as loud with his soul.

A Poem by A.G Franke

(refrain)

This is my life spoken though paper and pen,

Ya, this is my life, spoken though paper and pen.

A lion can be loud with his roar,

but a writer can whisper just as loud with his soul.

 

Just a boy trying to be a man.

Thinking I'm he-man, thinking I can do it all.

But here comes reality, here comes the real world.

Don't know what to do, don't know what to say.

As I'm thrown into full blown confusion.

Hoping for hope, but that's a delusion.

Can't make anything work, no can't make anything work.

Blaming myself as my conclusion.

As I mellow in this abyss of my own self-incarceration.

More torn up and messed up then this damn Government Administration.

But I gotta get out, oh trust me I'll get out.

Just gotta man up, find some determination.

Doing the best I can, trying to find some inspiration

All day going  110% balls to the walls

Gotta grab my chance before I fall.

 

(refrain)

This is my life, spoken though paper and pen,

yes, this is my life, spoken though paper and pen.

A lion can be loud with his roar,

but a writer can whisper just as loud with his soul.

 

So tired of fake friends and two-timing hoes.

What the hell I've been through God only knows.

Tired of liars, and snobs, and straight up prick.

Now my life is falling part and there's somethings duck tape can't fix.

The pain, the hurt, all the broken hearts.

Friends and family, in heaven a lifetime apart.

Now I'm living in a world with no morals.

Ain't got no love, only hate, only quarrels.

But I'm pushing through with all my heart and all my pride.

Don't doubt me, oh no don't doubt me.

I may be young, but just wait and see the potential I have inside.

So along life I'll no longer sag, no longer drag.

Gonna make something of myself before I die.

 

(refrain)

This is my life spoken though paper and pen,

yes this is my life spoken though paper and pen.

A lion can be loud with his roar,

but a writer can whisper just as loud with is soul.

 

These times are so hard and it's getting even  harder.

Cuz this ain't no movie, ain't no "Boyz to Men"

Don't claim to be perfect because God knows I sin.

But I do the best I can by the end of this pen.

For this pen is my weapon.

This paper I'm straight up tearing.

This paper seems to be hissing by the emotions it is sharing.

As this paper itself seems to be blaring

For sometimes the loudest noise is but a whisper.  

So this souls escaping, through the hole that this pen is gaping.

Gonna keep the heat a coming, cuz I'm straight up fired, and straight up inspired

But I pray to God I don't burn-out or spontaneously combust.

For it's you in you oh God I trust.

But I guess this story is told and unfolds, as the beats goes on

da da dam da dam da da.

 

This is my life spoken though paper and pen,

yes, this is my life spoken though paper and pen.

A lion can be loud with is roar,

but a writer can be whisper just as loud with his soul.

I LOVE YOUR WAY OF WRITING!
It reminds me of Hollywood Undead.
OMG!This would be awesome if it was sung by Hollywood Undead!
I LOVE the rhyming scheme!
Sometimes with lyrics that are long,its kinda hard to
keep a rhyming scheme.
But you perfected it!
And I completely understand with that whole grammar thing.
I don't really look back on my writing either.
But great lyrics!
I write lyrics too, so I know what I'm saying when I say
Flawless Job!

Spelling does matter alot to me, I have gone thougth and fixed somethings. I'v always sucked at catching those things. Grammer is inportant to, to a point thought beacuse this is lyrics. If anyone find anything inpaticular just let me know, as I'm these things ussaly slip me eyes. Thanks for all the reviews! =)
Much Love,

Strong write, and beyond spell check, look at the words you use...for example, "lairs" will go through all spell-checks, because they don't check context. Context tells me you were going for "liars" Simple typo that we writers do all the time when the words and images flow. That's why God made editors, I guess...LOL.

Would be excellent lyrics with the right tune behind em.

Excellent, take a round with the spell-check and this is really good.

Yes, it is very lyrical and would be a great song. I agree with LA Lorena though, it is distracting to read something with simple errors, though it can be fixed easily.
It is very strong, and I like the way you made this flow with your emotion.

i agree with both of the previous comments posted. the errors can be distracting to a reader and detract from the message that you are trying to convey. and it does seem like it could be turned into a song. overall the message is well done.

I like the flow of words and the strong statements in the poem. I believe could be a song. Your words are true. Words have great power when used for the proper purpose. I like the complete poem. A very good ending to a outstanding poem.

I love the message you are trying to impart with this! Great job! However, you really do need to have a run through with spell check as there are several typos and errors, and while it may or may not be important to you, I as a reader feel very distracted when reading something that has simple errors in spelling.
