Serenade
Me in happiness
Where was my shining light
Dancing mightily
The devil was having his way
Pennies in
Heaven eroded
Acid tears flooded
Going through
The motions dejected
Untimely
Thee unwarranted
Abuse
Came in all shapes
And sizes
My home
Was where I made it
Wasn’t much
To brag about
Begging for
My voice to be noticed
The pain to wash ashore
A chance at redemption
Cleaner scenery
Aimlessly wandering
Cut from
A different cloth
My upbringing
Held me like
A pit of despair
I never really felt safe
Any sense of real satisfaction
Had flown out the window
Honestly I was very ungrateful
Because of the path of destruction
That hit me like a train wreck
Bitterness stained my heart and mind
And my still frame mentality
Held me in its grasp
To this day just won’t let me go
