The Truth

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD A THING INTIL I GOT OLDER. WHY THEY FEARED ME. WHY THEY HATED ME. WHY THEY GAVE ME UP. I KNEW THEY DIDN'T LOVE ME. BUT I DIDN'T CARE. I AM THE LONE WOLF ON THIS LONELY TRAIL. EVERYONE SAW THE PAIN IN MY EYES. AND THE TEARS FROM MY HEART. I WAS BAD FROM THE START. THEY KNEW IT ,I KNEW IT TO BUT FORGET EM I DON'T NEED THEM. LET THEM BURN. I AM THE ONLY PASSENGER ON THIS RIDE TONIGHT. NOONE CAN HIDE THE TRUTH,NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. I MADE OUT ON MY OWN JUST FINE. MY HEART WAS ALWAYS BLACK AS STONE. I DON'T NEED THEM. I AM THE ONLY RIDER ON THIS ROLLER COASTER CALLED LIFE. BY, MICHAEL JAMES

Ahhh...nobody is ever truly alone, and I don't think anybody is ever truly bad at heart, maybe misunderstood! This poem reminds me of my husband when I first met him, I hope one day you find love and peace, and if this was just a poem, then I hope your character finds love and peace. Best Regards, Sena Slaughter
