Let Me Be

So I sit back and watch quietly as the roles are Played in 
my face. Do I speak I dear not for it will all come back on 
me. Shut up in a tower destine to get out. Cries of 
loneliness  but no one hears my shouts. Understanding in 
a desert place no where to escape from all that I 
fear.blank faces starting at me who to comfort. Backed in 
a corner no way to get out. I felt like an ant trust is the key 
still looking for the spear. Silent tears that fall almost 
everywhere. Happy times i've seen those days still waiting 
for the re-runs to play. A life time journey with only so 
few words. Fallen dreams of what could have been. No 
more past of what use to be. Moving on to u the future 
that God has plan for me. Stop looking at what is going . 
But what I know will be. Favor isn't fare so they will just 
have to envy me!
