My Lowest Ebb
MY LOWEST EBB
At my lowest ebb
Trapped within life’s web
The snares of life caught me off guard
And I am let to believe there is a god
The same god who is supposed to be my guard
My hands are burnt from the fire balls life throws at me
Void and empty like a vacuum
A black star within the constellations unreflective to sun rays
It’s all pitch black but my heart burns with emotions that enables
Me to dance to life’s rhythm and sing hymns of hope
And broaden my life scope
I am a man therefore I am supposed to cope not elope
I have been taken for a joke like a coke addict
Though for I know it’s a superficial verdict
Betrayed from my trusted precinct by plastic smiles
While I was at it, I will get past it
Their grin, green with envy as it overshadows my being
Life has walked on me like a door mat, but my rage remains dormant
Silent as the night, like a medieval knight I will conquer
This life
For I can see the light
I am bound by the virtue of right
