fowl taste

I never wanted, I never wanted to be born at all
and I never asked for the society in which amongst I now crawl
I tried to fly away I tried to fly into the setting sun
then I awoke from a dream that I had when I was very young
a bit of a bad one
a bit of a fowl taste
a bit of a notion
that I'm not supposed to be here in this place
I bit off a mouth full
I bid on a vacant lot
a bit of a notion
that I'm expected to give more than what I've got
I lost my fathers and I lost my mother even though she's here
I fought with my brother's and I watched as my sister's both disappeared
I tried to hide away I tried to crawl beneath that dusty rock
then I awoke from a dream that I had to find that I was in this song
a bit of a bad one
a bit of a fowl taste
a bit of a notion
that I'm not supposed to be here in this place
I bit off a mouth full
I bid on a vacant lot
a bit of a notion
that I'm expected to give more than what I've got

    This is...rather amazing to be honest. The word choice you place here is precise...exact and perhaps perfect.

    Bravo

    wow this was very powerful, and i loved it! you did wonderfully with this. i have a few suggestions with this line (which, by the way, i loved) "I fought with my brother's and I watched as my sister's both disappeared" i think it would be better if you didn't have the " ' " so it would be "brothers.. sisters" and i think maybe if you changed it to "watched my sisters both disappear"
    i dunno, thats just my opinion.
    anyways i thought this was simply wonderful!
