There's been times in life when destruction's fed on my breath <br />And darkness seemed to be my only friend <br />When I thought I hit rock bottom <br />And I was finally closing up with the end <br /> <br />When I think back now <br />I realize it was all despair <br />A scream for care <br />The need of fresh air <br />The need for lilies and for notes <br />For once a romantic happy end <br />But it's because I've figured it out <br />That in poems this message I send <br /> <br />It is truly when you realize <br />-Your life belongs to you <br />That you can spend it as you like <br />Watching movies, skyes or dew <br />And it is truly a matter of ignorrance <br />Only caring about yourself <br />A part of the american arrogance <br />-Putting 'Helping others' on the shelf <br /> <br />It is the ones who care <br />That will take the hardest blow <br />We who struggle with every minuite <br />Who do not let time flow <br /> <br />I know not about others <br />But you will understand what it is I mean <br />And when the time comes <br />At least our conscious will be clean <br /> <br />My mission in life is simple, black on white <br />I have my point of view, me you cannot fright <br />I will never my opinions hide <br />I will stay proud, but never satisfied<br /><br />Old Teenage Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-light-beyond-the-dark/
