Stay Down

Stay Down

"Stay Down"

Dear God, it's been a while, I don't know what to say/
I need to open up my heart, but if I do, they'll lock me away
But how can they lock me away, for spitting the misery I feel in my heart/
When the ones that made me betrayed me, when I was just a baby in the dark
Fiending for a father figure, and crying for his mother/
Wishing they'd love him, but they wished they had another
So it hurts me to say this, I've been a cursed seed since day one/
I guess I weren't a product of love, I was just what come after a night of fun
With nowhere for me to run to lord, no place for me to hide/
I'm coming to you asking for help, in the hope I can confide
All of my tears, all of my fears, and all the years that I'm facing/
All the tears and years I wasted, now it's prison or probation
Got me pacing, constantly hating, on the system that we live in/
Cause it's hard playing these cards, when their the wrong cards that they giving
But still I'm never giving up, because I know there's better ways/
Still I stay two fingers up, until I see them better days.

I love the expressiveness in this. It makes so much sense all at once... it's hard to explain... it's a true masterpiece.

The better days are when you die and one free of all that s**t walks on with Jesus Christ. Give it up man.

Oh my. An extraordinary poem, saturated with many difficult feelings. It's hard to read, but it's worth getting to the point. I love dark poetry, so I like your work. Congratulations and good luck.

I can feel the emotion, the descent into sadness, and the rising of hope.
