Trusted steps only prove
To trample deep within
Hidden chambers which conceal
My darkest state of sin
The hands shred the last
Portion of shelter from the eyes
Of the people who see to judge
And are incapable of lies
Their minds cast ashes upon
Me to make it seem
As if the only truth of me
Was part of some lost dream
Yet when they wake to find
Their secrets upon the walls
Judging eyes will close
Unable to believe it all
Tossing blame to the un-expecting
Ones who will not deny
Those who can sort through
What is real and what are lies
With their realities revealed
Mine are no place near
The prison I felt placed in
Released and abandoning fear
One day will soon arrive
When their steps will lead
Their souls to the painful world
Where people live and bleed
With wounds matching my own
They shall end their trance
Knowing I am struggling too
And I deserved a chance
Wow this is a really good poem. I know how you feel, how the world judges us and all and how we all deserve a chance. This has really inspired me to know there are other people out there that feel the same way I do. Thank you for your poem and keep writing!
