A Poem of past and present... Hope you enjoy.

Fallen

here i lay a crumbled man
heartless or hopeful i don't know which
saying to myself to reach for the greatness that i am
yet stumbling upon my own two feet, seeing no progress
when lord, when will these eyes no longer weep
when will this heart no longer be weak...
i breath heavily through corrupted lungs and pain
waiting for the day the shadows are behind me
instead of in front me
a prayer for those i love yet always forgetting to pray for myself
lost in my own actions and my own deceptions
what is love... what is life?
a broken soldier that's full of strife
at one point i knew my destiny
now lost i can barely see today
dwelling on past grief and drowning on my own belief
when lord, when will you place this soldier back on his feet...

    Awwwesomeness! I'm no rocket scientist, but what I do know is that the Lord hears His children when we cry out, and He knows our hearts..even when we don't have the words. But you've got them soldier! (Found the "thingy")
