Array ( [sid] => 146172 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Am [time] => 2008-11-07 15:57:50 [hometext] => i may be prejeduce to this poem but i think it is a powerful write, what about you? [bodytext] => I am the downtrotted who have been trampled on and left behind
only to be forgotten and shoved aside

I am the warrior who was spit on in his face upon returning home
from a war he never wished to fight and now is hated for
being forced to kill or die

I am the lover who sits home alone at night thinking about the other
who left without saying a word or an "i love you" ripping away all they built togeather
only to sit and watch it burn

I am the father who never gets to see his children
because of a selfish mother and a biast legal system
that left a black hole in his heart and his whole world

I am the rebel who wonders a lost highway
unable to find his way back home because he is too stubborn
to open his eyes or give a little for the greater good
but wont back down from those who try and change his views and beliefs

I am the prisoner released from hell standin out in the rain
who seeks redemption and vindication but its so far out of reach
because he is forever a marked man

I am the abused child who hides bruises from the world around them
to protect whats left of their pride and the abuser only for fear of more abuse

I am the poet who has been cast aside and is no longer tolerated
by society and others so i sit and write hoping to reach out and touch someone
just like me someone who is what
i am
or ever has been what
i am
but i am not the reedemer or savior just the holder of the torch
that provides the guiding lite to all the things that we have ever seeked but never found [comments] => 3 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 21 [informant] => outlawpoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
