Debris from a 24story building

Debris from a 24story building

A Poem by darkangel

afraid to pray, afraid it will make it all go away
afraid without thanks for my blessings that it will all come crashing down
that the debris will crack my skull
afraid to keep holding things within
but i've no idea how to let them go
without making everything and everyone around me explode
so i vomit pride and swallow handgrenades
so i listen to rage and ignore everything
footsteps of my father, shadow of my fathers father
try on my shoes, i beg of you
walk with me and you still wont understand
run away from me and be like everyother man
trust to jealousy, acceptance to misconstrude
inebriated mental chemicals, force fed abuse

Very strong, lyrical. Would make a great grunge pop song! Lot of anger and frustration expressed in a stream of emotional words that flow like lava. I loved the line 'I vomit pride and swallow handgrenades'. Great imagery.
I was impressed by this. XXC
