[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 )
