I Toil

Contributed by Darin on Monday, 1st June 2009 @ 03:17:53 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

This world is a highway to hell
I didnt realize how far I fell
Corrupted by comforts, its hard to tell
Paying no mind to the conditions in which I dwell
Shackled in chains, in a cold cell
Why did I desire to feel numb?
Leads only to sadness, confusion, glum
And ultimately ashamed of what Id become
Unaware of the consequences, the final outcome
Did I inherit this God forsaken gene?
Wheres my will power? Have I lost my spleen?
Saying words you know I didnt mean
Today, Im proud to be sober and clean
The progress Ive made should be evident
If you could see into my past youd see the evidence
Theres goodness inside, not always inherent
A childs curiosity, with a touch of ambivalence
The things I need to know will be revealed to me in time
The bell of my heart today rings a beautiful chime
To reach new heights Ill continue to climb
And learn all the lessons before I sublime
