A Poem: Lesson Learned

“Lesson Learned”

Head hung low in the mirror again

So many thoughts discourage me inside

I once was high with no where to fall

But now I hit that cold brick wall

My hands are dirty and my knees all scraped

I beg for forgiveness and drift in the wake

I hear the whispers and for where they are bound

Lost all my strength like I’m tied to the ground

So weak and so beat everyone dances around 

Cause nothing is more fun that kicking a man thats down

I once was a snake but now Im a lamb

Once so untouchable but now just a man

For all the fire that I once spit to the world 

I’ll gladly stand humbled and take the stones hurled

Inside is my peace in which I will lay

My prayers have been answered it's here I should stay

So if the sun should again fall on my face

And the chains of my past somehow melt away

Please let me not forget what I've learned on this day

Let me hold to the words that are righteous and true

So again I won’t fall into the pit thats so burns
