Chris Stennett Poems

Evil has taken a terrifying form
And began playing with life like it's a game
Wreaking havoc like never before
And came forth screaming my name
...

I was no more than a kitten when I got into boxing
I lacked the strength and effort to give more than I gave
Which caused me to hear scolding voices in my head
Saying I will be sent to a very early grave
...

I have been imprisoned my entire life
Inside an abyss of darkness and despair
With everlasting anger consuming me
And my soul slowly beginning to tear
...

People often say when they look in my eyes
That I am consumed by hatred and rage
Since I now walk a long lonely road
And my life has turned a darkening new page
...

For too long I've been labeled as a coward
Let myself be tortured by malevolent clones
Took relentless beatings like there's no tomorrow
Suffocated in the dust of human bones
...

I have risen from the ashes of enslavement
And have now forged my very own path
Never to be trapped in anyone's shadow
Or to continuously suffer their wrath
...

Time and time again we are always warned
To be very careful who we befriend
For not everyone we meet can be easily trusted
Or will stay friends with you till the very end
...

Sometimes things don't go according to plan
Since problems in life keep hitting you in the face
Dragging you down like a barrel full of crabs
Mocking you and calling you a complete disgrace
...

Words cannot describe how happy I've become
Since I have finally moved from darkness to the light
Free from never-ending misery and sadness
With the eternal feeling of enjoyment and flight
...

Something inside of me has snapped
Something that finally broke free from its cage
Something dark, destructive, and terrifying
My violent uncontrollable rage
...
