Best Poems Written by Silvano Rodriguez

Forsaken

i feel homeless though i have a home no one to hear  my poems, roamed the 
streets alone becoming weak  eventually lost focus, someone stole the light of 
day from me the skies above me stormed, lord deliver me from evil i just want to 
go back home, i went from standing on my own my world suddenly turned 
backwards, if there's someone really out there then how  come nobody answers,
as time passed i started searching for a way to ease the pain, then ended up 
hitting rock bottom landed face first on the pavement, laid my faith to rest i left it 
six feet deep below i graveyard in a nameless grave that i  myself in graved the 
word forsaken, life had taken me to places, shown me things no man should 
witness, cold as Christmas snow that falls upon homeless innocent children, i 
spent countless evenings breathing in a smoke that only weaken me, took full 
control with out me knowing thank god it didn't cripple me, it took over the price i 
had to pay was costly, cost me more that money i lost trust, disrespected my 
family, sadly that still didn't stop me like my conscience kneeled cowardly down 
before a substance that had grow too strong to overpower, then the hours 
became days the same way days had become weeks after so many suns had 
set months eventually turned to years, my fears had come to life i crossed i line i
didn't know i crossed, ashes to ashes dust to dust all i left behind was monster,
who once upon a time thought he'd grow up to be a doctor, i get torn apart it's 
hard knowing i turned his dreams to nightmares i wish i could hand him candles 
to light the roads he must travel where shadows will cloud his mind, with his 
eyes open wide deny those around him that call him blind, getting left behind by 
ghost whom he thought were his closest friends, who hear him knocking for help 
but i guess were just too embarrassed, their friendships had dies along with the 
part of him that had perished, i havn't a doubt their mouth never spoke his name 
in their prayers.
