Sanctuary IV

You know, I am mad and angry Thanks to the government We're like a nomadic family We are moving from bad to worse Every scheme, every plan I had Nothing works some people tried to help But to no avail Our situation looks pale I was glad to be born But now I wished I was dying No relief from my pain I am sighing I can't let life pass me by I got to get down and try Work it out this lifetime When looking down the road of blame I look to my name I carry my cross of shame The truth is like a blood stain under your fingernails The hardest whisper to hear is within I guess my turn has come You won't see me turn and run I am standing my ground I am not laying down with my face in the ground I am not just a face in a crowd I'm putting my pen to this page and help People without a voice To shout it loud We're part of humanity and we are alive!

Hi there. I love how your poem went from hopeless, to strong mighty and fierce!!! YOU are the voice for those who feel they don't have one, and you use your pen, your gift of words, to stand up for people! NEVER give up, Matt. Never. I'll be back for more.
