The Day the Running Stopped- a Bio

The tennis rackett beat down upon him The boy just two years old The stage was set for madness Where the nights were dark and cold Early memories suppressed for ages Beneath the damage done But an instinct built within him Told him when to run The road became his freedom He packed up his scars and pain But whereever he would lay his head They would visit him again Love never really found him His heart bled too much to share No one took time to really know him No one really cared One day he sought to end the mayhem That ravaged in his brain But God took the bullet from his hand And relieved him from the pain The monsters no longer haunt him The scars have faded over time Love finally made it to his doorstep Now his light can truly shine. Hope exists for those who seek it No matter what burden they bare Theres a God who wont forsake them A God who is always there.

Carl, it sounds like you had a very bad childhood and I am glad you have escaped it. A good bio poem for us to know more about you.
