In My Time Poem by A.J. McKinley

In my time of dying
I knew only pain

In my time of laughter
My tears fell like rain

In my time of heartache
My laugher was mute

In my time of joy
My smiles weren't truth

In my time of mourning
I found an absence of light

In my time of knowledge
Ignorance blinded my sight

In my time of trusting
I knew I was wrong

In my time of atonement
My sorrow was my song

In my time of seething
My shattered heart shook

In my time of enlightenment
My trust you mistook
