Alone

I am alone because I was force to be

Because of what happen to me

I hate being alone

It is no fun

I am alone in the dark

With no light

I see my demons when I am alone

They also see me

I am alone because of what I am

I am an abuse child

I hear my past when I am alone

It scares me sometimes

I am alone to fight my fears

I am alone to find the daylight

I am alone to see who I really am

I do not want to be alone anymore

Poor Boy

It's midnight in L.A. and I am waiting for the bus

I am a poor boy with a dark past

I was beaten when I was younger

Daylight has left me along time ago and will never be seen again

Night covers me like a warm blanket

I try to look threw the night but see no light

I am a poor boy with no one to turn on the light for me

I am a poor boy with no friends to call and talk with me

The L.A. street lights cast shadows in my mind of nightmarish images

Images of myself and my past

Images that I can not look at

I can still hear the sound of the belt hitting me

The sound of the belt going threw the air and hitting me again

I know it stopped along time ago

But, it feels like it is still happening

I can feel it in my sleep and when I get up also

When I go to bed it is harder

I am a poor boy who is running for my life

From shadows and the darkness of night

I am a poor boy who needs help
