Patience
I sit unaware in silence completley bare without an ounce of care
waiting for peace impatiently
the peace never comes
I sit there drenched in pain and dissapointment
how long must I wait I'm becoming irrate
betrayed since birth, no self worth
I sit feeling no joy
I tremble and cower in complete distrust, still waiting for my peice
wanting to scream, is this life or just a dream
not varing for once whos ear it hurts
my cries always unanswered leaving me mute no longer any words
I carry them on my face place to place
feeling like such a discrace
always shamed always shunned that is where the guilt begun
I stuff it deeper and deeper
making me uglier as it creeps up begining to kill me
silent rage feeling as if I'm locked in a cage
my soul is confussed and wanting to use
my hate hides my hope and steals my truth
I sit here and wait silently and patiently
all alone
