from the eyes of a failure

Face disguised
Creating eyes of misery
I lit up a candle
To seek a light to see

Visions from the eyes of a failure
Hatred faking victory
That drove my body to surrender
And killed the child inside of me

Memories of a past
for years i couldn't forget
Hatred of a sight
Full of doubts and regrets

Every breath is a sin
Every tear is a crime
For years i hid pain within
I almost forgot how to cry

In despair and in weakness
In rage and in gloom
I ask your forgiveness
When seconds away from doom

Mother,
One last sight...one last time
Forgive me tonight...forgive me forever
For life i was your lost child
for eternity you are my mother

God,
To stand the pain I wouldn't dare
& I'm no longer able to pretend
Though i promise and i swear
To whisper my prayers through the end.

Commentally Ill
well, from the eyes of this failure, i do hope God will see me as that child who so long ago, threw away a most prized possession (my poetry folder) as a sacrifice to him. my prayer? let me be that child in your eyes, let me be....... but alas, that child is dead. or buried alive.

also, from the eyes of this failure, we are all failures. and need to forgive ourselves, each other, and yes, yes, YES, yes God too.

a little deep for me, i'm getting scared. (runs out before you can make me scream for mommy)
