Jared Pickett Poet I do not know?

Personal Fame

save me for I have sinned
I have shot a man for nothing
I wish I could rescind 

I've committed grand larceny 
to pay rent and countless bills
I've stolen many dreams
For a void that must be filled.

I've been sworn to secrecy
to leave my past dim.
Shed no light to anyone,
I don't want to meet the reaper grim!!

So I made myself a witness
All in my saviors name
To clean my soul, play his role
This void now personal fame

Gert W. Knop February 21, 2010 at 1:55 PM Very emotinal and expressive, Jared! Today I had a walk around the Mandau-River near at my flat and loved to walk around when it was snowing. Went to a cat exhibit, quite interesting and along the Mandau River, crowded with ducks. I am happy to have moved here to the outmost part of Germany and only footsteps away from Poland and the Czech Republic. Thank you for you comment on At the River...Gert

Hyle Chu February 20, 2010 at 5:40 PM Personal Fame? Sounds like the kind of fame you could live with. "I've stolen many dreams / For a void that must be filled." That's powerful. Great piece.
