Serpent


Pushed and Shoved Kicking and Screaming No way to escape ...It's too late The world is blurred By the tears in my eyes Not telling anyone because They'll think it's a lie He finally left But I never forgot That horrible night ~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~ All alone in a room Far away from home No one is awake The TV is blaring I'm on the couch about To pass out, When all of the sudden I hear a door lock and Footsteps coming towards me, I thought little of it... And before I knew what was happening I was tackled... It lasted forever, at least in my mind, The pain and the hurt were way Too much too bear... ~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~ I don't know much about him, Only one thing... Khris, I believe, was the "Serpent's" name. I only know him by that, he has no family or home... He is a ghost who ruins the hopes and Dreams of little kids, then disappears On the spot... I was one of these kids, My everything disappeared I was running away... Since then I have never cared Keeping my secret so No one will ever know I was living scared... ~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~ I wanted to fly in the air So God would greet me and Call me his child...before my time had come... I was scared to even try, back then, I thought he would send me to Hell for the 'Sins' that occurred... It wasn't my fault, that I know now, So I am moving on past the fear... And I am back to being me...for now... God's with me and yeah, now I am all About the Rock n' Roll....haha I am living life and happy as ever.. Laugh, Have fun, and do what's right!!!! Don't ruin YOUR forever!!!! ~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~ Ignore the serpent who tries to bite you, if you look back now, your future is screwed. Move on from the past, there is nothing you can do...from now on, JUST BE YOU!
