I Am From... Poem by Matthew Petranovich

I am from nowhere,
Nobody knows me,
Nobody cares,
all I have is my tears

I am from darkness
Death and Decay
Creeping in the shadows
going to eat your brains

I am from a shattered heart
ripped up and torn apart
stomped on the floor

I am from the darkest sins
where blood is running
nightmares keep coming

I am from broken glass
blasted and shattered
horrible fragments of my past.

I am from the distant clouds
falling, falling
splashing on the ground

I am from fear and wonder
things that are unknown
things that cannot be discovered

I am from a rotting grave
I die everyday
letting myself down in many ways

I am from depression and lies
some people you can see it in their eyes
their cheeks wet, not from the rain
their life is full of tormenting pain
