Poem
Dominic C Cherry I feel like time is wasting away I keep trying But todays just another day My mind has escaped and ran free But that isn’t anything of me Or is it me I have changed But not welcomed my own change I still can’t figure out what I want I got you and you’re the only one I need But I’m not me I got lost somewhere Now I’m stuck deep below the surface Waiting to break free Just trying to find the right spot Thrashing through dirt seems too simple I want to break free through the hardest surface I want to let loose my mind I want control, more control The outcome isn’t just about me I’m holding myself in Just breathing, waiting for the chance To be me Did I overlook it? Probably just a worry though Usually is one But how can this be right It can’t be, I must be missing something Wait! I used to just let everything happen Now I’m trying to force things again I need to relax Take deep breathes and clear my head But I’m falling so fast I can’t do this to myself I couldn’t dare do anything to her I will not show fear I will not be ridiculed I came here to change this place I didn’t expect it was this bad But there are more like me More who want to change More who will change And as our idea expands They will need a leader to step up I am that leader The one placed here to change To change life as we know it And move toward a new world vision.
