The fool with a heart of gold

fool,gold,heart

By Natalie McguiraPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

My brain had finally lost its edge

my body decided to fall on rocks

but this huge stubborn atom of mine just won't give up

my heart…

I was fooled, I was abused, dreadful creatures took my child

with that aid upon me , a nice gentleman perished the next day

I am now forced to sing to a lying fraud species

A sympathize I’ve established, sounds pleasant, yet I felt deserted

I've reached the land of jewels, I’ve used my energy and ability to stand those last decades

but I have no peace of mine, my head is screaming, “I need my child, I need my child, it has been abused, and left alone!”

My brain is exhausted, my body is ready to get shot, but oh my, oh my, mother why?

how could you make such a creature, for such creature, what have you done?

my heart, my heart, my heart just won't give up

This heart of gold of mine is the last to survive but oh my, why?

yet I give, and I give, and I give

People threw rocks on my back still I give and give and give

Hatred, anger, and depression had then was born for the next day she will shut and lock the heart of gold

It's forbidden to be seen or feel or hear oh my, my heart is powerful, it must certainly be forbidden

It's now time to use the last of my power to melt the rocks and turn it into steeled swords,

A gift of brain and body gave me the swords to carved an army of circus and take what they owe

I won't feel guilty, for a wizard told me, this is the truth

the punishment of the heart of gold is yet most powerful

Be smart they say, you’ve been fooled before but don't let it be forevermore
