The One

Crys from within yur chest, straight from the heart,
A childs silent cry as he slips into the dark.
The spuddering of an engine when it refuses to start,
The tears of pain that leak when my hearts been torn apart.
Blood from a boxer, collapsed but refuses to stop,
the sound of a vibrant soldier who refuses to drop.

Rage eclosed in a fist, when the world's against you,
Knife to the wrist when you havent thaught **** through.
2pacs voice Echoing through a hollow room,
Relating to the shadow, Renforcing the gloom.
Smirks at school and laughter that awaits you there,
Pure extracted Hate that they can see in youre stare.

Contradicting voices, that seem to make you climb instead,
But braking you down to crazy, when you only see the back of her head.
tears dropped in the puddle youve made in youre palms,
Contimplating suacide when everyhing is seemingly goin wrong.
Thinking about a jail cell as a consaqence for youre actions,
Pondering if its worth it to step up and reinforce reaction.

The Mirror of youre life that youve built so strong,
now shattering at all thats going wrong.
The girl youre heart belived was ment to be,
Cant comprehend the light you try to make her see.
Realizing all that was Blunt, that you always knew,
when youre the underdog, its the world against you.
The world wanting to see you conciede, but you continue to fight,
If youve never heard pain, This is what it sounds like

The man of few words...

TriXter - pain is all of these and more, but only one that has felt it can truly know of it...

TriXter, I've felt it. You never say die and you never cry uncle. What you do, do.....is make a list of goals....work real, real hard at making something of yourself and realize there is a reason for everything. Those who would hurt you the most do it because they have the least, and by putting others down, build themselves up.....know your own spirit, and use it in a meaningful way, for surely you are not the only one experiencing this....find another like you, and be a friend...perhaps the first they've ever had....you, maybe saving a life...one kind word sometimes can make all the difference. So can a smile.....Never know if the writer is the experience, but if so....know how very special you are!
And, hold your head up, not in pride, but with grace.
Hugs, Pat
