Best Poems Written by Morris Derry

Crippled

The pain, the mistakes
The heartbreaks
I stand not to stumble over
But for me, it’s-over
Crippled
When it was death before dishonor, I cried
When it was the truth before lies...I lied
I walked crooked
Life..I over looked it
Crippled
I asked when no one listened
I was lost when they wanted my attention
Confused by it
Life....abused by it
What was once...is no more
The pain has left me sore
Crippled
Beyond what you can imagine
Still wondering what happen
When I cursed...they prayed
When it was time to go...I stayed
Hypnotize by it
Life...disappointingly surprised by it
Crippled
Crippled beyond what it may seem
Devastated...like a broken dream
Resurrect me I yell
Because beneath me I see hell
Crippled!
