Salvation Poem by Jay W. Allen

For what feels like a life time I stood my ground
I felt nothing could touch me until now

Fall, and then you watch me, Fall
The warrior inside me is crying out

Set your face like a flint and stand your ground
Fall, and then you watch me, Fall

Never wanted, never wished for
My failures to hold me back

The only thing worth meaning
Is falling through the cracks

Will I find what I am looking for?
My very own existence

May cost me everything
My existence is overtaking me

I'm hoping and praying for a chance to live
The undying mistakes that I've made

Has set my life apart and now I'm free
Live for something, Hope for nothing

Regardless of what it's worth;
The battle for something greater
Is crawling up your back
