Stakes to heaven

Are sins worth to survive?

 

Stakes to heaven

 

I feel confused

I feel over used

Whispering softly into the wind

Thinking I would find a friend

Well maybe I will find an end

 

I had to learn to survive

So I don’t have to sacrifice

I had to learn to fight

So I can live through the night

I had to learn to gain

As I swallow down my pain

 

All my life I’ve been pushed around

Stakes to heaven till I faced the ground

Now I don’t care if the stakes are too high

Cause this is my way to face up the sky

 

I had to look into an angels face

Pulled the trigger with no trace

I had to look into the devils eyes

Played a game and rolled the dice

I had to look into the colors of gray

As I watched my own friends decay

 

All my life I’ve been pushed around

Stakes to heaven till I faced the ground

Now I don’t care if the stakes are too high

Cause this is my way to face up the sky

 

I had to live in the dark

So I can watch my own back

I had to live in a graveyard

So I can stay strong and hard

I had to live with a sin

As I killed my only friend

 

All my life I’ve been pushed around

Stakes to heaven till I faced the ground

Now I don’t care if the stakes are too high

Cause this is my way to face up the sky

This is my way to face up the sky

This is my way to face up the sky

Author's Note

Another old, and this one is kinda 3 years old, I posted it now cause I just found it, basically you can see with this how time and writing more and more makes you better, and also know how back then I was kinda alone, alone as in, its my self VS the world, which is a big mistake! no one is truly alone! I learned with time that there are always good people no mater where you are... And no I never shoot an angel ;)

All the best,
Tamer Qtaish

Wow, three years ago huh? Your style has improved for sure, and that the harming of angels has stopped is a good thing. Tell you what though, it takes being alone to find out you really aren't so. You can see light best when surrounded by darkness, can you not? Sometimes lessons are best learned the hard way.

that very sad and bad to have to feel that way about life but it was a good write

[Dark Daughters]

This was a stunning write

[Mz. Rosilyn Vanessa]

This piece is very deep. We've all gone through hard times in our lives, but, I know we all get to Heaven even if the Stakes are High. Again, this is a very deep piece and I like to say my heart goes out to you for writing this beautiful piece.

This is not only touching, full of feeling, it reaches a place most of us keep hidden. You are a "Real Writer"
No doubt in my mind.

[ShadowDance]

Yes see that's an old one I love it a lot!
You sure know how to stand up after you fall, although don't fall that much but we all fall sometimes, and as you say, if you fall, flip your self up

Nice one, like before I loved it!
With that I reviewed all your work, if you get mad cause of it later, Do what ever you want it isn't my problem... and by the way I will be a bit late for our meeting, so is 5 ok? Well I'll call yeah in a sec and ask that's faster, I thought your coming on-line today or something
