Poem about loss and renewal. |
Wrong decision, rocked with doubt. Internal conflicts, show me out. The drugs they heal, or so I say. The drink it numbs, I'll make it another day. Meeting two on the side of the road. Took one home and set the mood. I don't even remember her name. Two months later I get the call. I am to be a father, I feel ashamed. I am to be a father and I feel the pain. I can't even take care of myself, How does she expect me to help everyone else? Running circles in my mind. Praying to God for a sign. Take control, take my hand. Cleaned up and I have a plan. Back to school, Back to work. Drugs are gone, I go to church. I had two path's, stuck at a fork. Four months later, it was all a shame. Used me for money and a home. The child was another mans. Torn apart, wrecked with grief. I turn to God, His voice is meek. I turn to friends, they cannot help. Then I turn to a mirror and find myself. I was the target of a scam. Needing love I became blind. It takes me time to realize, I was only a man. The mirror it soothes me, it is so kind. I realize then, as I stare. I do not need anyone but me. I walked a fine line and came out pure. I spend some time telling myself that I'll be fine. |
