When

Cast aside, chewed up & spit out again Lost and unsure, free falling into the unkown As a wounded and angry Character in a play, hiding behind The masks worn while performing to the Piper's tune as the world watches on Oh, what a lovely price to pay Peel back the layers of defense Look past the haunted and hollow Eyes presented by a battle weary soldier See past the masks and hideous scars To see that I can still be found That you can still take my hand While there is still time That I wasn't completely lost While you were not looking When

SKAT, First off I just want to say thank you for the warm welcome to Poetry Soup community. I also want to thank you for breaking the ice as well. With the first poem that I have shared, I was nervous as within the poem I feel like I was baring my soul on paper and then sharing it with the world to get feed back from them. As for a little bit about myself, I am the oldest of 9 and have 4 parents so life growing up has been interesting and the source of inspiration for most of my poems. There have been things that have occurred in my life that haven't exactly been the greatest moments ever, but I see them as something to move on, a reason to pick myself up and keep moving forward. Please tell me a little bit about yourself. Also feel free to ask any question that comes to your mind.
