WHERE WE COME FROM

Where we come from

The sky is never blue

Nor is it black, just in between

Solemn gray shelters our dying trees

 

Where we come from

We never see the sun

It's shining over someone else's head

I wish it could shine down on mine

 

Where we come from

The thunder is our guide

Waking us from restless sleep

Tugging at our minds that tomorrow may not be coming

Where we come from lightning shields our eyes

Blinding us as our sign for all the things we do wrong

 

Where we come from

We hear the Angel's laughing

Just because we will never be as innocent as they

Where we come from

Fire chases our dreams

Burning them to ashes

Ripping apart what little hope we ever had

 

Where we come from

It's always raining

Lost souls gathering sorrow in the puddles

Reflecting the image of a saddened face

 

Where we come from

We're always alone

Wasted by frightened hearts

Where we come from

We're afraid we won't survive

Where we come from

We are not the chosen ones

Thank you everyone for your feedback! It's nice to be so welcomed!!

Home is where I set my hat - between breaths. Where I've been is yesterday, where I'll be is tomorrow.

Where I come from is my nightmare...earned in my time step-by-breath-by-step.
Sharing thoughts and listening... and freefalling life.

Welcome to another home.

I have to wonder where it is you come from. I would miss the blue of the sky and I feel none of us are the chosen ones. I like how you wrote this, it had a nice feel to it. It made me wonder where this person was from over feeling sorry for them as to were they were from. Nice write.

Where we come from is a world of endless possibilities, a scary world where we must face our fears to succeed... where we are going is up to us. Brilliant poem.

Where we come from is a life long search or journey fueled by longing and motives all unique to our wiring; so much truth, depth, insight and emotion.
