From one destructive life into another....My life was never boring :)
I thank God, for he was always my shelter :)
Alone
I was never in a yearbook
I wasn’t in your class
You never saw me wandering
I do not seem to have a past
My fears were never mentioned
I didn’t have a mouth
You never saw me in the day
You never heard me shout
I walked in darkness daily
What light I saw was pale
I ran in winter to be free
But got caught and was jailed
They set me free, but I was watched
The rules I broke, I paid a price
The days were long, as was my wish
That I would find someplace nice
I build my armor from within
My voice was silent, years would pass
I found a home, just another nightmare
Time was short it would not last
Adventures follow for a loner
Off once more I go alone
Far from the place where I was born
Far from the lies, they called my home
Another place I built new memories
Wrought not with anger, nor with pain
New friends await a weary traveler
Someone new gives me a name
I had new memories, built for a future
Five years I spent in love with life
But time was short, I was mislead
And eventually came under someone’s knife
The cuts and scars that maimed my body
Experiments I could not control
I walked into a living nightmare
All I had was a thread that I could barely hold
Like Alice in Wonderland, I fell down a shaft
And came out into a world not many know
And like the prisons, I knew as a child
