    Cold Weather

    1-14-09

    As I walk through the cold, my story unfolds
    Like I was hustled and snow was the work I was sold
    I was conned, lied to with the stories they told
    A young man, but these bones hurt as if I were old

    When I was young, every day seemed like spring
    Felt like a king, Christmas came I got everything
    That I wanted it seemed, now it’s so cold it stings
    “Let us fight on” is the song that we used to sing

    But I grew conflicted as everything shifted
    Realized things weren’t the only way I was gifted
    Some burdens I had to carry and others were lifted
    Lucky enough to have proof that my God existed

    And so I go through the snow cause I’m on a mission
    To keep my head filled with Godly ambition
    On to the act cause I passed my audition
    Even though it’s cold I walk despite the conditions

    good work. im still in the cold and walking, searching for the heat or warmth of a better life.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
