Losing Faith


Ive long walked away

From a faith of things unseen

Refused to stay 

For the future I have foreseen

 

Shackled by these broken chains

That weaken by generation

The future that is weaved 

Stained by desperation

 

A wanting to belong 

A purpose that must be met

A faith that is strong

But soon to set

 

Ive lost my faith 

When I found the truth

Experienced the most 

Once I lost it all

 

Must leave my family behind

In order to find my truest self

Been waiting for a sign

Until I realized there is no help

 

So I walk this journey alone 

Waiting to become the man I see 

Afraid to leave it all behind 

But more afraid of what could be
