O5 Mar 2008
The loud voices, they scream & yell at me ,
I close my eyes in despair, why don’t they let me be.
The anger, the hatred, the violence that reflects in your eyes
They condemn , accuse & tear me apart with all those lies.
I look at my image & what I see just shakes me to the core.
Bruised, ravaged, battered & sad I couldn’t see any more.
I came into your life one day with so many special dreams,
I grew up pretty fast for you, just not soon enough it seems.
Every day I wake up asking God for a little bit more today,
The courage to go on in life just doesn’t seem to fade away.
I still see goodness in you, a man who is yet to grow
But I look at me & I wonder can I take any more???
