We've All Got Something

I wrote a poem to the beat of Let Her Go by Passenger


I’ve got something
But it’s not a lot.

I’ve got sunlight
But I want the rain.

I’ve got love
And I want some more.

I’ve got demons
But I let ‘em be.

I’ve got eyes
That don’t always see.

I’ve got legs
That won’t always run.

I’ve got a heart
And I hope it beats.

I’ve got a soul
Somewhere deep inside.

I’ve got time
To dream a dream.

I’ve got stars
To count at night.

I’ve got screams
That interfere.

I’ve got a feeling
Something isn’t right.

I’ve got nothing
We ain’t got nothing
If we cannot act.

    1. Thanks, Amrit. I was hoping the voice in the poem could use their own musings for action.

  5. I love how you captured humanity in your words!
    We all dangle with the dark and the light and trying
    to stay on track, our path!
    Well Done Ben
