Family reunions I’m talked about but never seen <br />Hopefully I will live to see the future <br />Instead of the present where my insides bleed <br />Got a lot of scars on me I'll now tell you the stories <br />But hopefully you don’t take offense <br />From the dirt and gore to the lovely glory <br />Let’s start from the beginning when I was pushed out cold <br />Prematurely that was very bold but my mom was near the brink of death <br />Cold and naked spanked on the ass to breathe <br />Wanted in heaven but an immigrant on Earth <br />I announce myself like others with gasps and screams <br />Before black and white barriers the world presented <br />I was happy not scared of no one <br />Only exception I was afraid and allergic to barrel of the gun <br />The gun within the tunnel of the core of the sun <br />I had an image the camera couldn’t capture <br />My love for life and my mother that captured my laughter <br />Inside and out comes the love but still battered <br />Picket fence refused to be shattered <br />In my teens I was a follower look down upon <br />Completely spat upon what happen to the world I sated on? <br />From sitting on the edge of a cloud <br />To being spat on by massive people in crowds <br />It’s a curse from hell <br />Fell face first in the bloody self hate<br /><br />Leland Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1-blood-covering-the-picket-fence-shadow/
