Description: Just writing bout my life as it was, As so many live still are.... This is not written from a Political correct stance so reader beware it is intended for those willing to ponder a second or two
In the shadows -------------------------------------------
I am that dark figure in your dreams
The reason for your screams
You fear my schemes
but you share my dreams
As i sleep i am alone and cold
Yet i walk the street prominent and bold
My face is in shadows because i was not blessed with light
I am not partial to the night
I wish for sunshine and love
Not to wear ski masks and gloves
but i am condemed by reality
You or me must be a fatality
I dont seek gold or riches
I seek what an infant wishes
To be held and fed
To not feel so dead
I would shed tears for you
But i have none
But you Do
SO Hand it over!
Hand over your tears, and smiles
Your hopes and dreams
Because mine were left for dead
thown away like a partially birthed fetus
Tossed aside to be devoured by the rats that share my home
My dreams were abotrted because they were not convenient
My dreams were aborted because my existence
serves no purpose to you
Or were my dreams aborted because of my past?
Am i punished to live this nightmare this horror
Because my father was no scholar
Because his father was as his father was
And so on and on
Am i a Slave to these streets even though the shackles are no longer on?
Of course not you say
Go to school and it will get better one day
But no math book takes my hunger away
No english book pays my rent
And by time i get a degree my body will be spent
I studied as i worked
watched as you smirked
as my life pasted me by
and I watched that sweet infant dream die.
Wow. That is great. Definitely one of the best I've read all night. It's so strong and the wording is excellent. You always manage to impress me, and this is no exception. I would tell you my favorite part (cause I like to do that) but I love the whole thing too much to pick one. As always, Great job
