Unhealed, but Alive


I have dedicated my life to what is humble,I have slept in bunk beds that are as small as wallets,I nourish on foods that are ever so simple,Such as ants on a log and pigs on a blanket,
But, the thing that sticks out as the sorest thumb,Is the ignorance and rudeness of these hypocrites,They're like the ants that bite me for fun as I become numb,In which I lose my hope, which flickers like dying lights,
They get quite passionate over one subject, Yet, they cross their word as they do another,Just like when partners abandon you in a project,You feel uncared for as you face a black smother,
I am willing to admit to my mistakes,But, I detest to contend with such bitterness,I silently scream as my spirit slowly breaks,Leading me to be buried by the darkness,
I try to be as generous as I can be,But, I head voices that rattle me with such effort,Inside, I feel a monster devouring me,Where it defeats me without the honor from a sport,
But, the day I caught a sight of your beauty,It was as if sunlight shone through panes of stained glass,Just like a pirate discovering a chest of booty,Your contagious smile was something I couldn't pass,
I didn't think you would soend any time with me,But, you stayed close to me when you see me walking by,You have managed to show me what I was too blind to see,In which I can see right through every single lie,
You make me laugh when your eyes streak of your elegance,Your words are all I want to listen to in any day,You make me feel as if I am held in providence,Where my depression slowly, but slowly fades away,
I wish to give you everything I own,Because I can never repay you enough,You have revived me before I deeply fallen down,Now I stand back up on my feet as I face what is tough,
But the day you informed me of your departure,I felt as if my heart has been stomped once again,However, I felt as if I am cleared of all troubles,Where I feel ressurected rather than torn apart,
Forever you inspire me to be better,Where I rise to the occassion as I live and learn,You are the wind blowing within me as I face pressure,And now, I have opened my eyes and made quite the turn,
