Poems
Dec 2010
The Bed Youve Lain
In your later years
Will you still have all the same fears
In your earlier life
Did you have all the same strife
Did you stand ignorant of the truth
Were you boastful of your own pride
Proud of your own prejudice
Do you see what lay at your feet
Only to kick it aside with no regard
Are you afraid of whom you might meet
Only to remember them in regret
Stumble along the broken path
Leading to the soul within
Find in you a will to live
And see the love not to give
Face the fear that brought you here
Too remember who you were
Live the life you've yet to live
Too forget the strife you had to give
Truth is there for you to find
Only to lay down your pride divine
Your prejudice consumes every waking our
For the wasted lives you so devour
Compared to the you've yet to see
What simply can not be
The bed you've lain
The seed you reap Now you see this is me
