I Wish I Could

I wish I could walk away from my past,
Erase all my painful memories at last,
Forget all the liars put the evil behind,
And walk on the path that god meant me to find,
But my path is not clear,
And the liars don’t fade,
And evil hides around corners,
Waiting for fear.
Waiting for lies to sink into the soul,
And burn up the hearts,
Leaving ashes and holes.

I wish I could walk away from my past,
Hold my head proud and my hands still at last,
Forget all the anger at the pieces they took,
And smile at my God for the interest he’d look,
But the anger can’t leave,
Cause the truth was not told,
And God cannot look,
At mistakes in the fold,
Was I a mistake not meant to be,
Tainted at birth,
Something God couldn’t see?

I wish I could walk away from the fears,
Smile at the morning that now greets my tears,
Forget all the emptiness deep in my soul,
For a truth and a father that I’ll never know,
But the tears come from hearts,
And the fear from the soul,
And the emptiness feelings,
Are deep down in a hole,
The desire is there to move on with my life,
But what a heavy burden to carry,
Till the end of my life.

I wrote this 25th of June 2008 under my real name but I thought
I would share it with everyone, hope you enjoy.
