selling my soul despite the cost
desperate stares as cars flash by
feeling that soon the end draws nigh
sometimes I'm gasping for air as if drowning
while normal folks stare and walk away frowning
cast to the streets still a boy, yet never a child
only knowing the meaning of hate and reviled
desperate to escape this void that's my world
and reach with in hoping for normalcy unfurled
climbing out of this black abyss
finally living a life i almost missed
:( You have the inner strength that succeeds.
