Journey of a GhostA Poem by Nicholas Antonio Young
I put my heart into everything
Tired and broken i continued loving things Clutching my chest slowly being ripped apart from the start Every single part of me dying just to live again To be reborn, grow wings and spread them And then, everything would finally make sense But what could ever make sense to me in a world of senseless things I look around me and then I see People crying for the release attention brings Greedy souls trampling their planet relentlessly The means to feed a world that is still starving Broken hearts, homes and families Lives ending just to end their suffering And then there's me Searching for hope in a life that will never believe in me I tried to give myself to others Maybe they had the tools to stitch my heart back together But whether or not their intentions were good or rotten I let them tear me open There were Two parts of me left but both of them died Nothing left but ironic words written on a tombstone that say "at least I tried" Yet my casket is bare, there's nothing inside Because I'm still pretending to be alive I'm a nobody There's nothing left of me But I walk in the ranks of the sinners and saints My body marches in place yet I trace my steps back in time To a point in time where my life was mine Where everything was fine I'm a ghost lying to his walking corpse Whispering words of comfort and hopes I will never find © 2015 Nicholas Antonio Young |
