The Torture of My Soul
(A simple poem dedicated to many)
Forgive me as my soul does have
A melancholy tone,
But this bitter world
Gets even darker
When youre forced to cry alone
And I can only walk through life
On a distant, wayward road
And hope someone will understand
The footsteps of my soul.
I travel down a darkened path
Of a tears old weary street
And see my peace as broken glass,
As fear with stomping feet
Begins to make a dreadful noise
As sorrow beats its drums
The haunting voice of trembling doubt
Slowly begins to hum
slowly
slowly
Taunting me
With cruelty so cold
slowly
slowly
Playing still
The rhythm of my soul
The shadows with a stubborn stench
Of grave like fumes of pain
Hold the burn of heartaches poison
And pierce me with their fangs.
My veins are heavy with the flow,
My plea is, HELP ME PLEASE!
I cannot bear the agony
So I fall down on my knees.
I scream the sound of misery
For thats the story
That has been told,
And so the title has been written
The Torture of My Soul.
The storys told within my eyes,
The tune is in my voice
My lips, they long to form a smile
My heart wants to rejoice
But the jury
Of vengeful
Sorrows court
Says Im GUILTY in this life!
Therefore,
The judge
Of miserys seed
Says Ill have NO LIGHT!
Weeping is the melody
Of a damaged soul like mine;
A battered tune of scattered notes;
The ticking of lost time
All chiming in to play my song
To tell me of my woes
To say that Im a tortured soul
With nothing left to show.
But they dont know.
And so
In the fog of disappointment
In the traps set by shame
In the woods of misfortune
Through the graveyard of pain,
Past the thorns of mistakes
Beyond the fire of my dread
Somewhere there is light,
So Ill march on ahead,
As Im tortured
And Im weary,
Im damaged,
And Im battered,
My soul may be torn,
My peace may be shattered,
My burdens may be heavy
And I
Ill have to crawl
But Ill get thereto the light.
Ill make it through it all.
