Anguish and pain.
Like a trail of blood.
Have followed my wounded soul.
Dotted and spotted my trail leads on.
To fields uncharted, unknown and new.
Aimless and bruised.
I wait my turn.
Which seems as if forever evades me.
Wane and weak I sit and steer.
And glimpsed my soul a thousand miles away.
Hidden behind cleavages and shrubs
And my hopes began to fade.
The courage needed to go on.
To foster and plunge, to renew.
I summoned but got no respond.
Soaked in self pity.
Blind in disappointment.
My blinkers became myguide.
Dejectedfrom the real game.
I found no joy.
In a world of make believe.
Baptize me, renew me.
Give me rebirth and joy.
Restore me to my former self.
Let glad tidings be my aim.
Like a spring let me roll on.
Spreading and overtaking as I move on.
I love the people that I meet.
Their smile, their joy, their spirit.
Tangle, woven and unshackle.
I find my resting place.
The soil is stained.
It left a trail behind.
Wounded I weaned and mourn.
Settled in and lick my wound.
Weak forgotten and bleeding.
I set my soul and high.
Unshackled, unloved, dejected.
I'm the scorn of it all.
