I try to think back
As I take my mind
back to the past,
believe I remember words
said by my mom,
like a soft breeze
her words marched in my ears,
yet very young age
so words where not clear,
I believe her words
formed and said,
life is not as sweet
as moments like this,
world is harsh,
saw tears dry in her eyes,
holding me on arms,
as days past I realized,
the amount of weight
my steps had taken,
like cinder blocks as shoes,
many surprises,
left my mind visualizing,
simply illusions,
wanting to be a hero
like super man,
wanted the life
richy rich had,
like neo I had to wake up,
open my eyes,
yet my time was to soon,
missed out on many cartoons,
violence appeared often,
riots grew outside my home,
yet I was delighted
with my new super Nintendo,
fires burning businesses,
a sight of what hell might be like,
stuck in a life cycle,
that made you value your life,
death can come with a tick of time,
fatigue of the pressure of life,
lifting my own weight,
asking for a light of aid,
mind sailing away,
very difficult stage,
tears no longer the way,
paper refuses to show
the marks of the pen,
body excluding the toxic fumes,
so a fallen figured,
trap within a tornado,
which wind body been replaced
with sharp vines and razor blades,
I wish I can go back
to the same moment and time,
so I can wait,
to hear if there was a way of change,
yet today I simply wait,
take as much punishment as I can,
so I can once again re collect,
hope mother said,
but after my son,
all will be ok
