Rest In Peace To All My Own

Who knows the pain of a relentless
struggle better than the person standing
to the left of your tears, be pleased with the
lack of knowledge given at ease, if we
all experience life why not teach as
we live, live as we experience, and learn 
from one another. Criticism is easily
directed to the world, although
comprehension is our own biggest fault
          So many words have bled from my pen
although I don't understand the half of them
I write what is written when my mind is overtaken
I stand proud through my struggles
I battle hard through mistakes, only to let
the next man recreate, and as I point my
finger my father asks me; why wouldn't you 
                       listen?
True to a hypocrites words, I fell to my knees
burning night skies "Rest In Peace To All My Own"
