Misunderstood Poem by Billy Loving

Sun shines down
World all around
Birds fly by
As I sit and sigh
Changes that never come
Wondering where the next runner will come from
In my heart, strength resides
No matter how hard he tries
Knowledge in the brain
By no means insane
As I grow older year by year
Moments, I hold so dear
To the hate, I've become numb
As through the pages, I thumb
Love, something I don't know
Seeds of anger they continue to sow
Steady hand
No matter what they have planned
From the bottom to the top
Not knowing when it will stop
Calmness within
On no one to depend
Calloused from years of abuse
Listening to their next excuse
Another day come and gone
Trying to find out where I belong
Not wanted here
Despised there
Courage to continue
Their whipping will not discontinue
Teardrops from long ago
Pain, they will never know
As I continuously learn
Knowing to God, I'll return
