I have just begun



Roses are red and violets are blue,
oh,you heard it all before,
think again,
this is a new twist and shout,
on this stage I find myself,
talking to all the people,
with all that critique,
you think you know me,
don't use the lines,
that someone said awhile back,
well guess what ,
I am a broken toy with no control,
Romeo without a head,
hunting killer without a knife,
California dreaming to my likes,
sentinel with poisonous gaze,
smoke on the water I contribute,
stair way to heaven I climb,
you think I am done,
think again I have just begun.
