Family Footsteps



Upon my face is a trail of tears

From inside of my soul you’ve awakened my fears

The door swung open and the lights came on

Then I hear the happy cries shout, “Faun!”

But I don’t want to leave this place

For then my fears I must face

My memories are hard to trace

From inside of this space

This darkness had become a part of my being

There is something that the world isn’t seeing

Each one of their voices echoing inside my head

The sad thing is each one of them is dead

Mistakes of their pasts haunt me

I’m left wondering why they didn’t want me

As I sleep the icy hands fall upon my neck

I bolt up and begin to scream, “ I beck…

A soft glow fills the room

I am fearing now that this may be my doom

But the darkness still surrounds the light

Then a soft voice whispers, “Now child, no need to fight

Please my child do not be afraid

For your soul will never slave

And make the mistakes the we’ve made

We are sorry we never bade

You farewell when we had gone

But now my child you must move on.”

Then the light had vanished from my eyes

I knew all truths before lies

Since then I chose to stay within this room

So then my path will not lead me to the same doom
