For what am I but a man, Alone I walk, alone I stand, My mind; the only place where life ain't so bad, What I can't do down here- up there I can.
And what am I but a fickle flower? The echoes of silence that get louder and louder, As I gaze upon my broken life from a tall castle tower, As the fruits that grew my consciousness turn a bitter wicked sour.
What am I but an unloved creature? Not a shard of perfection in any of my features, Although I am dead and numb inside, I've still God's spine to hide behind.
Hope is not something that one can find, It's in your soul; it's in your mind, I fight the evil; my inner inside, I thought I'd won- but now we're tied.
This is a poem I wrote a few years ago. I'm 19 now and this was written when I was nearly 15
