Emotional Angiush

Emotional wounds These cuts run deep Can't cover the wound Won't ignore it's pain Tears have fallen Hard lessons learned Feeling non-existent Travel alone for so long Latched onto fears Strong foundations built of rage Caged I feel Locked away behind bars of shame Can't tame the demons that lurk about Shocked you might be once you see what i have lived though Tauted and made fun of Tossed around like a flat ball No bounce in my step No air in my lungs A heartbeat frail I've sank to the bottom Staring straight up wanting someone to hear my cries Ignored I've been Cast aside a ruin of a man I've stood My fears weigh heavy My dreams fade with each sunrise Courage it takes for my eyes to see each day Unhappy I seem content I maybe But someone guides me still Has not given up on me I believe that's where these words originate in the eyes of a man that can see past me A God a wonderful reckoning a cure for all my doubt A dream he sees in me I just need to see with his eyes and believe I am meant for much more then this reality I live each day.

David, Reality can be so depressing but sometimes if we look real hard, we can see glimmers of what could be. Then we have to 'choose life' and create a new reality, a destiny that occurs when one discovers his inner passion. With it comes the joy of knowing that you are more than the depression.
