Life Poem

    © By Taj-domayn C. ThompsonShine Your Halo

You speak of your god in words of devotion
Yet in your heart unholy emotions
Shining your halo so it blinds our eyes
I am on to you now it's just a disguise

Words sweet as honey drip from your lips
Evil and wicked the sinker of ships
Block out the sun, pluck stars from the sky
Faking the tears that you always cry

Speaking of love like it is your friend
At last, I just can't comprehend
Love is forgiving and just letting go
Don't polish the pain so it's sure to glow

What do you get from the wars that you wage?
An actor or actress on life's daily stage
However, just remember in the final play
Your deeds and your thoughts will surely betray


Here I stand,
Until the time
Was it a crime to see what cannot be touched
Hear voices speak words that can't be undone
Was it my fault I was invincible
To the naked eye, I am invisible
I cannot be seen
Because no one wants to see me
I am different soul drifts aimlessly in times of hopelessness.
It searches tirelessly for meaning and truth ...
Yet finds no direction.

My heart bleeds quietly in times of loneliness.
It yearns to find warmth and happiness ...
Yet it somehow eludes me.

My eyes seek out visions in times of want.
They gaze endlessly through the blackness that envelops them ...
Yet they cannot see the light.

My ears listen earnestly in times of silence.
They search for familiar sounds to comfort and console ...
Yet they cannot penetrate the darkness that surrounds me.

My arms reach out frantically in times of despair.
They seek strength and compassion to enfold me ...
Yet they find nothing substantial to enwrap.

My mind cries out desperately in times of solitude.
It poses intense questions that demand answers ...
Yet there are none to be found.

Different from the rest of them
So they ignore me
But I don't ignore them
No one is friendly
Why were they so blind
Because I am not them
I am only mine
I am different
But I can see
But they can't see me
I watch them fall
Divided they fall
Together they die
But here I stand
Until the end of time
Was it a crime that I was unique
Original to the human mind
I was invisible to there standards
Invisible to their lies
But as they kneel to beg
I watch them beg
But here I stand until the end of time
Was it a crime for me to live my life
A crime for wanting to survive
No one would answer
So I will wait until the end of time
