My soul rough as bark
Traveled through this world without a mark
Left my body collecting dust
My skin like rust
Rotting away this life of mine
Without a clue and unable to find
I’ve seen my hated path
Seen the gods judgment and there wrath
They’ve passed on me this tainted fate
Pushed me out and locked the gate
Now alone and in the dark I stand
Like a single grain of sand
Though in the distance I see thee others
Those born from the same hated mother
She left us all to starve
Without bread or even a knife to carve
We’ve had to find our way
Left with our own demons to slay
I’ve tried to leave back the pain
To make my way out of the darkest shame
But I’m trapped behind the steal door
My dead limp body on the floor
Tears will cease to flow
And no more years grow
I thought the rhyming was very forced at times but still, it does seem like an out-pouring of emotions. It's a very raw post, but I think it was interesting enough to merit a read through. I would have liked to see you elaborate more, beyond the dark symbolism, but not to worry.
