Anthology poem

That to which we touch leaves print The children we raise, impression we make Plant a seed, deep within from darkness Choice to live for whatever reason Skies turn blue as much as darkness roams Life being what you make, despite obstacles Only finding peace when quietness exists But not in ourselves, what is it to live life We grow, becoming part of a world A world built upon mortality strength We change our souls weaken to life's expectancy Existence to hide ourselves amongst the evil Show me who you are, heart tells truth A soul bound to love in itself a journey of survival Humanity of nature, dying breed of its own To live is to breath parallel being of one's soul Where darkness shines a light with no switch Be a soul portrayed before the faces of people A person of integrated moral standing alone The beast, he lives there hungering to eat Thriving on the bitterness of the heart's pureness I hunger with thirst, I cry out in anger Finding myself and who I once was before the darkness As I sat and watch the skies of cloud I look for our future and pray in tears to the one who cares My mind wrapped in many thoughts It is my success I have accomplished It is that will to survive that keeps my fight alive It is the eye of tiger and the roar of lion I cry That of my soul just feels like screaming Falling to my knees and saying, Lord take me But let not life kill me nor my thoughts I have But make me stronger in thy ways Love in the world is at silence with no arguing you hear It is time that heals all wounds but time that hurts a soul lingering in blues It is there you are as my darkness falls upon my soul in pain Sometime in life, I used to know who I was or what life was about It is not of our hearts we live pain and suffering But dreams and hopes for a better tomorrow It is that of a man's heart to which he follows It is there we seek our true lives as we strive That of our soul to which cries out for love It is that of predator to which runs wild The wolf's howl and growl as you hear the cries It is that from within the wolf stands to survive As without heart there would be no life
