Alone I wait, Alone I stand as always have, I must wait for the change lent by God above. |
-For The Dawn of The Light of Day- by Keaton Foster Darkness comes Blackness sung Nothingness done Heavy it weighs Impossible It is to evade Standing right here Emptiness so clear In this life I have no one Truly and completely I am all alone Deep within My skin and bones At the core of my soul There is no God That I wish No darkness That I truly seek For a man like me There is just the middle A central point of reference Between semantics And a rightfully adored And limited level of expectations That will never be met What I have is not owned What belongs is not mine What is here is nothing Very precise and quite clear I’ll never be free I’ll always see as I do And as I always have For anything to be good There are a hundred bads None of this seems fair Really never having a chance Sad I’m sure it must seem The truth is mine to bleed There are no lies Within these rhymes There is nothing For me to hide Upon the face of each line There is just this What I can offer you Strangers that I often refuse People that I don’t know People who are unlike me People who are unlike themselves Again, this is meant for you Take it and do what you will To you I will always say, here For the dawn of the light of day I’ll just continue to wait There can be little else I’ll see darkness for as long As it presents itself I won’t ever turn my back Regardless of the fear Or the comfortability that comes With knowing that for now There is no light in my life Sad it may seem That I’m trying to be But indeed sadness is what This is least of all I once stood in the house of God Kneeling down at the foot Of his only begotten son I was bloodied and bruised To him I was sure I could relate He was silent as I whispered As I certainly confessed What I am absolutely sure Were all of my valued sins When I was done Proudly I rose to my feet And did an about face Never since that day Have I managed to return To his place or to his presence Not because I don’t believe In fact I believe most of all I have never again returned Because here in the darkness I fear I cannot find my way A direction I feel comfortable with Has yet to present itself One step on the wrong path Could spell my certain end One mistake is more than I know I could ever be allowed I am on the line Right between salvation And outright damnation The God of us all and his son Assured me that my penance Was greater than most I did so many bad things Back when I was just a kid I did them all in order to survive I did each of them because At that time I was sure That those were my only options I have far too many regrets To risk a trivial step In the wrong direction I cannot afford a derelict decision Hastily made Via pomp and circumstance Darkness comes Blackness sung Nothingness done Heavy it weighs Impossible to evade All of it is God’s way To remind me of those days And that ultimately I’m gonna pay The slightest chance at salvation Has made me its slave So For the dawn of the light of day I’ll stand right here and wait Forever and ever If that is what it will take… For The Dawn of The Light of Day Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
