Forsaken
i feel homeless though i have a home no one to hear my poems, roamed the
streets alone becoming weak eventually lost focus, someone stole the light of
day from me the skies above me stormed, lord deliver me from evil i just want to
go back home, i went from standing on my own my world suddenly turned
backwards, if there's someone really out there then how come nobody answers,
as time passed i started searching for a way to ease the pain, then ended up
hitting rock bottom landed face first on the pavement, laid my faith to rest i left it
six feet deep below i graveyard in a nameless grave that i myself in graved the
word forsaken, life had taken me to places, shown me things no man should
witness, cold as Christmas snow that falls upon homeless innocent children, i
spent countless evenings breathing in a smoke that only weaken me, took full
control with out me knowing thank god it didn't cripple me, it took over the price i
had to pay was costly, cost me more that money i lost trust, disrespected my
family, sadly that still didn't stop me like my conscience kneeled cowardly down
before a substance that had grow too strong to overpower, then the hours
became days the same way days had become weeks after so many suns had
set months eventually turned to years, my fears had come to life i crossed i line i
didn't know i crossed, ashes to ashes dust to dust all i left behind was monster,
who once upon a time thought he'd grow up to be a doctor, i get torn apart it's
hard knowing i turned his dreams to nightmares i wish i could hand him candles
to light the roads he must travel where shadows will cloud his mind, with his
eyes open wide deny those around him that call him blind, getting left behind by
ghost whom he thought were his closest friends, who hear him knocking for help
but i guess were just too embarrassed, their friendships had dies along with the
part of him that had perished, i havn't a doubt their mouth never spoke his name
in their prayers.
