    SHELTER FROM THE STORM

    I woke up once in a sweet sweet sweat
    I began my journey then
    Begging for forgiveness
    Repenting for my sins
    I traveled over the valley of my soul
    Wander upon them still
    Redemption comes not to me
    This man remains a fool
    Prisoner trapped inside my desires
    Wont come upon an end
    So I scream to empty skys
    Hollow words to judging eyes
    My truths ring lies upon the rock
    My heart cliffs send back no replies
    So I climbed the mountains of my mistakes
    And come always to walls
    When a man climbs beyond his means
    All thats lefts to fall
    I swam across the seas salty bloody tears
    And from the depths far below I swim from year to year
    Swift I move but still to slow
    All choices made will catch me unprepared
    Memories haunt the darkened glades
    Remind me of my faults
    Broken now I bend my will
    And ask you take me in
    Shelter from the raging storm
    I burn within my frozen heart and cast away your skin
    Touch me not
    Lest you catch my cancer sins
    Let me pay the debts I owe
    And let the light back in
    I fear the cost to much to give
    That I wont make the bill
    Ask however that I try
    So for once I will not fail

    great poem. Your too young to have failed--your whole life is ahead of you---learn by your failures--you are who you are today because of what youve been through! Excellent Poem

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

    Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
