I Love Poetry
[i][b]A Warrior’s Inner Conflict
[/b][/i]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of life,
My voice cries out and expresses my strife,
I’m not here to complain but I have to unload,
For I carry a burden that weighs heavy on my soul,
Not sure how to explain it because it lies deep within,
If I knew how to release it I’d still be living in sin,
Like a prisoner inside I can’t come out to play,
I isolate my inner child to keep him at bay,
Love is the teacher I seek with every step,
As I go up the staircase I’m wondering what’s next,
Some would say I’m lost but I think that I’m found,
If life is a performance call me the circus clown,
I smile on the outside but it doesn’t tell the truth,
My face is a mask that I developed from my roots,
Gladiator of the arena who can’t conquer the fear,
I’m shielded by false bravery and wounded by a spear,
Angels of darkness have come to me as friends,
The cycle that I’ve witnessed I don’t know how to end,
But someone must’ve heard; a message has come my way,
I’ll be free if I’m just willing to say what I have to say.
