Gov't

Amanda K lessig

A million voices in my head
Thoughts can not be set straight as I lay in bed
The Gov't is who controls
Planting evil in our brains until they explode
Still I reach for the positive
There is something to learn through all the damage
Life is a test
One day we will make it out of this mess
For who will love our tortured souls?
A dead soul only revives and regrows
