Runaway Ambition

Runaway ambition 
Written 5-10-07 Edited 8-22-07
 
I wake up early morning 
Hoping the rain is pouring 
I glance out the house door
 Everyday there's someone out there poor 
I gather up my things 
There is definitely a place to be by the swings 
I think about the future around me Maybe I can find something meant to be 
I pray for everyone to understand it 
Someone will figure it out just a bit 
My feet touch the wet ground
 Anyone could think I will never be found
 The tears run down my cheek
 Guessing no one will find time to seek I walk reluctantly down the street 
Maybe someone new I can meet
 The cool air blows on my skin 
Only god knows about my terrible sin
 Blood in my veins rush by fast
 Just look forward, forget the past 
I lay at rest beneath the rooftop from the rain
 People who knew me, I caused them pain
 I'm sorry dear family
 Forgive me my loved friends
 You do not realize What I feel like 
Deep thoughts run through my head 
I miss my own bed 
It's not the same life anymore 
No one to cuddle with when I'm sore 
Life on the street
