Dred

The things I've seen
The places I've been

I would tell you all about it
If I only had a pen

I no longer crave to speak
Lips forever sealed

The anguish in my eyes
Forever revealed

The journey of life
Is not over for me yet

60+ years
And this is all I get

So don't just look at me
Feel meI'm too old to front
My words can be blunt
If you've seen what I've seen
And lived as I do
You would stare into my eyes
And appreciate all the that I have to offer you
SILENCE
