State Of My Head

**I wrote a poem based off lyrics from the song “State of Head” by Shinedown.**


_That’s the_

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_



_That’s the_

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_


It’s been a long,

Bumpy ride

From home

To here,

Sittin’ back

In the saddle.


It’s time to

Get down,

Ready to fight

‘Cause we’re gonna

Dirty up our knees

In the battle.


Come on,

Round up

The boys,

Rally

The troops,

Together,

We’re gonna

Make the walls

Rattle.


Oh,

Our flag

Is tattered,

But its marks and tears

Are worn with pride.


And our bones

Are shattered,

The pain

Ain’t cripplin’,

So we

Solider on.


The work is

Hard,

The stress is

Maddening,

But…

It doesn’t matter

‘Cause we’re

Movin’ forward.


_Round ‘em up,_

_Round ‘em up,_

_Let’s go…_


_Round ‘em up_

_Let’s go!_


Oh,

My eyes are

Seein’ red,

Double vision

From the blood

We’ve shed

In battle,

Still,

We’re gonna

Make the walls

Rattle.


The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

I’ll fight

And fight

Until the very end.


_That’s the_

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_


The don’t know

Where we’ve been,

And how hard

We’ve worked

To get to

Where we now stand.


We got

That concrete street skin

From all the

Fallin’.


The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

You can’t keep me

Away

From the fight.


_That’s the _

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my _

_Head…_


_That’s the _

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my _

_Head…_



We’ve been shot up,

Beat up

By the fallin’

Of the arrows,

Their path

Straight

And narrow.


Yeah,

I’m full of

Deep cuts

Right down

To thre marrow,

There going to town,

Trying

To harm,

To kill,

To damage

Me.


_But…_


There’s no doubt

We’ll get out

From the bottom

Of the barrel,

Of the pit

We dug ourselves into.


Oh,

Our flag

Is tattered,

Yet it still

Stands.


And our bones

Are shattered,

Our skin

Is bruised,

But we fight on!


They try,

And try,

And try again

To tear us down,

But…

It doesn’t matter

‘Cause we’re

Movin’ forward.


_Round ‘em up,_

_Round ‘em up,_

_Let’s go…_


_Round ‘em up,_

_Let’s go!_


Oh,

My eyes are

Seein’ red,

Double vision

From the blood

We’ve shed,

But I continue

To see,

And I will

Until

I’m dead.


The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

I won’t give up

Not in my

Lifetime.


_That’s the _

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_


They don’t know

Where we’ve been,

The unimaginable

Pressure

We were under.


We got

That concrete street skin,

The pavement

Left deep cuts

And lasting scars.


The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead

Or by the

Strongest of forces.


_That’s the _

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_


_That’s the _

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_


_That’s the _

_State of my,_

_State of my,_

_State of my_

_Head…_



Can you hear me

Now?


Can you hear me

Now?


I’m comin’ back

For more

Of the fight,

The struggle,

The hardship…

The victory.


Do you feel me

Now?


Do you feel me

Now?


I’m breakin’ down

Your door,

It’s time

For me to

Tear you

Down.


I’m not speakin’

Under my breath,

You should be able

To hear me now.


You

Might want to

Run,

‘Cause the harder you

Push,

The rougher I get.


‘Cause I’m not

Shakin’

When the earth starts

Quakin’,

I got the strongest

Foundation.


Yeah,

Got my own

Foundation

With no

Hesitation.


Oh,

My eyes are

Seein’ red,

Double vision

From the blood

We’ve shed,

Dizzy,

Light in the head,

But I stay

On track.


The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

But even then,

I’ll be

In the fight.


_That’s the _

_State of my_

_State of my_

_State of my_

_Head…_


The don’t know

Where we’ve been,

All the treacherous terrain

We’ve crossed.


We got

That concrete street skin,

A scratch here and there,

Blood pouring everywhere.


The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

On the ground

From a bullet

To the head.


_That’s the _

_State of my_

_State of my_

_State of my_

_Head…_

__

__

The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

Otherwise,

You’re stuck

Dealing with me.


_That’s the _

_State of my_

_State of my_

_State of my_

_Head…_

__

__

The only way

I’m leavin’

Is dead,

But even if I

Die,

My spirit

Will live on,

So…

I’ll never truly

Be gone.


_That’s the _

_State of my_

_State of my_

_State of my_

_Head…_
