Payyton Egerstaffer Poems

I cry out in shame
As I watched my parents murder
I don’t think I’ll ever be the same
He is what I call my abuser
...

Wings of white,
Face and body just right,
Outgoing and nice;
But inside was all ice.
...

Shattered glass is all around,
my tongue is tied, my arms are bound.
My life is burning to dust and ashes,
in front of my eyes, my existence flashes.
...

They see us, they laugh, they turn their backs.
They mock the cross and cut us no slack.
With cold cruel eyes and hearts like stone.
The world is dark with no love shown.
...

It's tearing me apart,
these feelings I hate so much.
someone take the bullet out of my heart,
I need something solid to touch.
...

She is held captive in her own mind
Slowly but surely becoming blind
Not knowing how her life will end
Now more than ever she needs a friend
...

I’m running with the shadows of the night
So, baby, take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
...

God are you there
Can you here my prayer
Do you here my plea
To be set free
...

He took my soul
And he took my rights
But I didn’t go down
Without a fight
...

The day I died
I withered inside
I cried out in pain
Waiting to be slain
...
