A prison made of my own mistakes
no repentence, no forgiveness
no hope in this world for fakes
no chance for deliverance
no aid for the wounded - for the sick and twisted
who refuse to pay their penance~

Staring into a black abyss
a hell of my own making
my life has been a hit and miss
and my soul is ready to be taken ---
I've made my choices right or wrong
for better or for worse -
I lived my life - now I'm waiting
to be blessed - or to be cursed~

I lived my life to the best of my ability
I need not defend my actions to you -
I need not try to justify my beliefs - or whats inside my soul
If you really know all then you can see
that what I speak is true~

I hold no hope for better days
no sorrow for what was left behind
no regret for the words screamed in my mind
when I thought I was all alone -
no regret for anything said
or anything I've done~

Staring into swirls of mist
not sure which way to choose -
the grayness or the dark abyss
either way I can't help but feel
that I'll have to pay -
no matter what I'm going to lose~

Yeah I gambled - I took the risks
I played the hand I had been given
I refuse to have regrets
I made the best of my situation -
Now I refuse to be dismissed
I won't be passed over - like I don't exist
I refuse to apologize
for choosing a life of bliss
instead of eternal lies(your lies!)~

Can't you see you made me like this?
Can't you see you made me like this?
Can't you see you made me like this?

Wow... I liked this! "You" sound so defensive in some of the stanzas though. It was great, except I don't always agree? I don't know...

I liked these two stanzas the best, if I were to pick a favorite. The reason being, stanza #1 - It sounds kind of rebelious to me, no offence if it was not meant to be taken that way, and, like I said before, defensive, it's kind of cool to see that. Stanza #2 - Hopeless, rebellious, and not ashamed, at times I feel like this. It is something I can relate rather well too...

Anyway, Thanks a bunch for sharing, sorry no one posted on this sooner

I like this poem but I think its a little lengthy - I'm working on a shorter version which I'll probably post later. I don't know -its just missing something and I'm not sure what exactly but your view on it is welcome

The whole poem is supposed to be defensive - and anyways I was lsitening to Godsmack when I started writing this ...

Thanks for bumping this poem up so people can see it. Hopefully I'll get some replies this time!
