Poem Title:
Poem
I need you in my arms I need you by my side I will cause you no harm Understand my pain "Only in this lifetime" Along this path I was absorbed through misery I became known as What you all call today An outcast In all my words What would make you think You couldn’t come to me I’ll do all I can for you I have fallen from grace So I can no longer adore truth Right or wrong, for better or worse I could never leave you without a home I try to do more good than terrible But these are times of Paine And they make life unbearable All kinds of suffrage in this living Find someone to be there Better times to envision These overshadowing events and circumstances Shape us into the individuals We might one day grow to be You say you’re making it I’ve grown to become a college brat I too am surviving Maybe one of us Will one day relax upon a better day Other than that There’s no wishing this weather away How can I be what was never taught The personality I sold Was the image you all bought And if I don’t fare through the night It doesn’t mean it wasn’t a fair fight Days I could see myself Through your eyes As a child flying a kite So smile things will be alright In a stand still moment You ran away from home Ambitious and following The wrong scent In depth I think So my thoughts Seem to rush the children away It’s not that I preach But I can’t afford to lose So I push the obvious Pilgrim away Gone silent, visually awry Awaiting an angel to call me Witnessed my shadow Fall not far from me Sympathetic exposure Amidst the thunder and clouds Is it okay to wonder aloud Did I bring us The worst of you and me On my knees I need your arms around me once more A pint of Evan Williams by my side Did I become vulnerable Me or you whom shall we grieve Don’t you wish things were wonderful On my last stance Until then and perhaps This old man’s back may collapse Takes a breath, for he’s not leaving He relapses and keeps breathing
