    Requiem

     I've been searching so long just to find myself back in square one
    All the battles I fought cost too much, even those I have won
    Gimme something to show me that life is more than who we are
    More than selfish and shallow and arrogant, more than just just scarred
    I've been fine on my own, though I feel myself less and less sane
    All the lies, all the bullshit, more shit than my mind can contain
    Honor and loyalty, breeds that are harder to find
    Sometimes it feels like Im one of the last of my kind

    I want to fly down the highway in reckless abandon
    No, I don't really care why, I just can't seem to fathom
    When I feel like Im stuck 'tween the world and a chasm 
    A deceleration of war, requiem to an anthem.
    Requiem for my youth, broken hart, all my pain
    Requiem for the fact that I'll never be the same 
    Requiem for my innocence long since lost 
    Requiem for my spirit and pureness of heart
    Requiem for the bullshit, the lies, broken trust,
    Requiem for the passion, the love and the lust
    Requiem for the war that has scarred me for life 
    Requiem for myself, only I've paid the price
    I've been living my life in the truth, only trying to be good
    I've been taken for granted, looked over and misunderstood
    My backs full of knives and I feel like Im always alone
    No one to cry to, no solace, no place to call home
    I still stand, Im trying... Even though it gets harder each day
    Dont understand, but Im fighting, holding on to the hope it will be ok
    But I know, my hearts bleeding, Im living on borrowed time
    Beat on strong, just keep beating, Let me know that Im still alive

    Deep........ Know that life is a fight ... Not a physical but spiritual..... None of us are perfect .... We all fell and fall short of God's glory... But just know that He loves you and is with you all the time.... I've been homeless and hungry and tired... all the feelings that I believe you have here....... I just know that He carried me through all of it.... and I know He will be with me the rest of the way...... Great write and story of how one person may feel left alone just cause we feel different act different or look different....... red

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
