A dark journey

A dark journey

A Poem by Richard Dotson, Jr.

I’ve been down this road many a times.
I should know how this ends, but my world remains silent like a planet of mimes.
What did I do to deserve this unjust treatment?
I managed to stay on the straight and narrow but I’ve managed to crash head first into the cement.
Now I’m stuck in purgatory, with no sense of direction.my body wanders the Earth aimlessly, waiting for my spirit’s resurrection.
I’ve lived this dream before. I can’t believe it turned into a gory nightmare.
Filled with enough rage and hate to steal your soul and leave you standing right there.
I’m a menace to society. I live life how I see fit.
Enough pressure to crack, too much pride to quit.
Once more, I will rise above the rest and reachieve my dreams.
I speak the truth, not blowing smoke like and iron that steams.
I’m out for justice, stalking my dreams like the bird of death.
Enough power to start a full scale war, but no courage to fight it: no ammo left.
I pray to God for my spirit’s safe return…..
For I do not wish my soul to eternally burn.
