Memories from Another Me

On Human Aspirations

I am lost and I am found,

For I have sinned and forsaken.

I’ve been loved and cast away

And I only pray that I can free myself

In the truth of the words

For I might always be alone

Born somewhere out there

In a town not far from home

My mother is becoming but a memory, slowly fading,

But I remember her to have been beautiful,

or so I have been told.

She had a kindness to her

that was rough around the edges

With eyes that burned into the soul.

The same as my eyes sending fear into the world.

The color of a pasture on a lazy spring morn,

Alite with fire and envy,

Although I wish not either will find in you something to desire.

Deep down I find darkness lurks,

Destroying all of which is good.

I wish that I could take back all the pain I’ve caused

But I am just a coward

A light in the dark, A shadow to hide in, Embracing my inner duality, journeying to find peace and inner strength.
