Poem
The Lord is my shepherd I pray for my soul to keep But how can you Cage a black sheep I shall not want Though inside I really do Just a fool Wanting a life anew Given only to A chosen few He make me lie down In green pastures That can not be When I’ve already been Knocked down By this world Full of bastards He leaded me to still waters Which were Only poison wells He restored my soul How can you fill A bottomless hole For where it ends Nobody does know Sent me in the paths Of righteousness How can that be When all I see Is no damn good For his sake I would If I could Though I walk Through the valley Of the shadow of death Life was exhausting It took my breath I will fear no evil If my strength Was not so feeble For though art with me Then why am I so lonely Thy rod and staff Are not comforting Their used by the world For hurting Thou preparest a table before me Then why am I so hungry Longing to be somebody Though I’m so empty Yet there are my enemies Not sitting But within me He anoints my head with oil That burns with my emotions Which toil My cup runs over Onto the ground Washes away Like a thief that takes Your air away And leaves you to drown Surely goodness and mercy Will come my way This is what I pray Each and every day But here on my back I lay Hoping that I will dwell In the house of the Lord forever And he has mercy to take away This hell Take away the pain That seems like It will always dwell Though this is nice What is done Is easier to be said When all of my life Has been wasted Taken me to where I was led Contemplating The lies I’ve been fed Leaving me twisted In the head He giveth me Then took away And left me in this pit I lay Oh well It doesn’t matter what I say Just another wasted thought Another wasted day A lost soul Who will always stray Finally to find the answers On Judgment Day..
