This breeding ground for destitution <br />I see deprivation of wisdom <br />Shunned by none other than my own <br />Deprived of existence <br />Lurking in the shadows <br />On a wrong path <br />Destined to see the light <br />Only to see the fire <br />Ignite and burn my future <br />Destroying all attempts to success <br />Preventing this hell from torching my soul <br />Reluctantly parting my lips to call this place...home <br />Discouraged by my surroundings <br />Failed from my own actions <br />I repent on my inferior decisions <br />From fragile thoughts <br />Of a weakend mind <br />I succumb To this darkness <br />When i lurk throuh the shadows <br />In this place of no return.<br /><br />Shaniqua McCrae<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadows-84/
