I\’ve Done My Time

I’ve Done my Time

I’ve done my time

I’ve paid for my crime

I’ve done my seven years;

I’ve done my time

I’ve paid for my crime

Most of it with fears —

Mirror shattered and luck laid bad

That polished self in delusional wealth

Shattered in so many spheres…

I’ve done my time

I’ve paid for my crime

I’ve done my seven years;

I’ve done my time

I’ve paid for my crime

So much of it with tears–

I’ve taken the blame, I’ve lived in shame

I’ve stumbled through days, in merciless self haze

Prostate before their jeers…

I’ve done my time

I’ve paid for my crime

I’ve done my seven years;

I’ve done my time

I’ve paid for my crime

And pray that someone hears…
