I Cry On What I Changed Into

I cry on what I changed into.



It’s hard to kill when you have raised it from the farm. 
But then again you will never let your family starve. 
The Preacher works for penny’s in a pan. 
While he hopes you get’s his message – 30 min on the podium  
To see new life come true. 
Will change that person inside of you. 
As a soldiers eye in view.
I cry on what I have changed into. 
That’s why here I sit. 
Writing poetry with my mind, being sick.

Nathan Leccese Date: 5/14/2009 5:40:00 PM Very well put. I know a lot of us feel that way. We dream of what we will become as children and then when we are grown, we turn out nothing like we dreamed. Login to Reply
