Life

What did I ever do,

To make you

Into this Beast of Hatred you call you. 

I gave you everything you needed.

I gave you life.

I gave you breath,

Even when you took it form me.

It seems I have no choice in the matter,

Of what you do anymore.

You push me around.

And I was helpless against it.

You beat me.

Black,

Blue,

And Purple.

The color of my skin changes.

Each time you touch my skin.

That's what I think of.........

What I feel........ 

But I'm not helpless anymore.

I was crippled against your will before,

But now your crippled by Karma.

Now it's my turn for revenge. 

To push you like you pushed me.

To hit you were it already hurts.

Feel my pain.

I've made us both realize,

That revenge isn't good.

'Cause in the end,

You just hurt yourself.

Prevail through the challenges

That life lays out for you.

Life is like a big game

Unfair and uncertain. 

We prevailed together,

And now you want to treat me right.

But now I'm leaving.

Going to someone appreciated me more,

Before I was gone.

Things are just crazy,

When you realize how screwed up life really is.

Things go beyond your control.

And life doesn't go they way you wish.

But now that I realize it......

I wouldn't change my life.

All my trials and tribulations, 

Make me who I am today.

All my pain and grief of loss,

Makes me appreciate things before they are gone.

All my life to live,

Learning to forgive.

Forget those who cause pain,

'Cause if I don't they'll always reign,

And rule my life.

Bend  it to their means. 

But I'm here,

Writing this poem.

Telling you,

Back up off my life.

Out my face,

And out of my business. 

Cause I'm the only one who runs my mind.

I'm the only one who tempts my Fate.

I'm the only one who runs my Life.

Flames

Flames licking at my skin,
Lighting me from within.

My brain wandering,

Are the flames are metaphorical?

Or are my questions rhetorical?

Why am I burning?

Why is my heart hurting?

What did I do,

To feel such pain?

I know I’m insane,

In a really funny way.

Can someone help me?

Can anyone hear me?

Save me from the fire.

Please, they’re climbing higher

I think I see you………….

Jumping through the fire and flames.

Trying to save my life.

Saving me from the flames,

That hurt like a knife.

Questions

Doth I not stand,

Upon my own two feet?

Strong like a lioness,

Kinder than thee?

My heart doth never yield,

To the liars that try fool me.

They steep themselves,

In the filth of their guilt.

Doth I not bleed,

Like our Mundo?

Our Nature?

Our Mother Earth?

Doth I not feel?

Laugh?

Hate?

Love?

Cry?

Aren't I not human also?

Am I so different,

From the human race?

Doth I naught bleed,

The same red blood?

Do you honestly think,

That I bleed blue?

Behind my endless questions,

Is there any philosophical sense?

Is anything I say,

More than just words?

Do they mean a single thing?

Or are these words......

My words.......

Just Questions?

Gazing Out the Window

I gaze beyond the window,

And wander who am I.

I'm in a sudden daze,

And don't know why.

I wonder where I am.

If I can,

Do anything and everything.

A breeze blows,

From my closed windows,

While I wander how.

I feel my house grow cold.

My years have passed me by,

And am getting very old.

I have lived my life,

Free of sorrow.

A bright light flashes before me,

Striking me blind.

I see my life flash before my eyes.

Then,

I am floating in the white.

I realize this must be Heaven,

But then I'm back to where I started.....

Gazing out the window.
