Boot Camp BluesA Poem by Ian FarawayI wrote this poem while in boot camp when I discovered I was being kicked.Body is broken
Mind is gone A twisted spirit Far from home Forgive my foolishness Forgive my ways I've failed to be wise In all my days So obsessed Body is weak Lord, let me pray My soul to keep Judgement clouds Confusion clear All this madness Caused by no beer Feet blistered Hands numb A place to rest Do you know where I can get some? A mad man And his dream Sparks rage So cruel and mean One day ends Another begins Time goes on It is no one's friend To be selfless Is wise But all dreams Stay in the sky Hold me close Don't be too far away In the end you're gone It's just another bad day Broken heart Shattered dreams I can't find a way To blow off enough steam I'm angry I'm sad I can't go a day Without being mad A piece is gone I found it in her Made my heart fly like a bird One goal chased One goal fail From the ashes Another one is for sale How far will you go To accomplish That doesn't guarantee You will finish? Behind laughs Behind smiles Is a young man tired of the miles Clouds storm Emotions sway Caution yourself As you walk this way My future fades My past lingers Smiling and laughing Pointing at me with its crooked finger I cream so loud inside And I try to let it out But I just break down And in hiding, pout I'm so damn angry And I'm so damn scared It's so much weight For this weak soul to bare So what the f**k do I do When as far as I can see Everyone around me Only sees the monster in me I am broken So take me away To my special place So I can meditate Try to fit the pieces Try to put me together If I do it alone I won't get better © 2013 Ian Faraway |
