ive been living on my own
surviving from what keeps being thrown at me
only knowing that tomorrow may be different
but thousands of days have passed since that time
and i still have nothing to show for it
i am truly different for what i seek
cannot seem to be accomplished in these dark days
i was thrown out forced to defend myself
from the cruelties of the world
at the age of 14 with no one to look after me
i am truly a rogue amongst those of my peers
time is only a perception for most
for some of us it is a curse for we watch
the days soar away in the wind while it seems we remain the same
i have witnessed the miracles of the world happen around me
with time slowing down moments that seem important for others ...
while i get left behind forgotten like the dust in the attic
and i have seen some of the cruelest events firsthand
that people not in their right minds can accomplish on an evil scale
this is my life i am a wanderer
i seek people of similiar circumstances
attempting to show a way out of the darkness and yet no one seems to see
i speak the way i do to make a point
the point being that it only takes one soul to change many
and though burnt out i may be i will strive to bring this missive to others
and have them share the knowledge and wisdom ..
in order to survive we cannot wait another generation
i may live free and frolic now but i cannot do so
knowing that my kids or my kids' kids wont have anything to be in awe over
