Stay Down
"Stay Down"
Dear God, it's been a while, I don't know what to say/
I need to open up my heart, but if I do, they'll lock me away
But how can they lock me away, for spitting the misery I feel in my heart/
When the ones that made me betrayed me, when I was just a baby in the dark
Fiending for a father figure, and crying for his mother/
Wishing they'd love him, but they wished they had another
So it hurts me to say this, I've been a cursed seed since day one/
I guess I weren't a product of love, I was just what come after a night of fun
With nowhere for me to run to lord, no place for me to hide/
I'm coming to you asking for help, in the hope I can confide
All of my tears, all of my fears, and all the years that I'm facing/
All the tears and years I wasted, now it's prison or probation
Got me pacing, constantly hating, on the system that we live in/
Cause it's hard playing these cards, when their the wrong cards that they giving
But still I'm never giving up, because I know there's better ways/
Still I stay two fingers up, until I see them better days.

It's good you can express your strong feelings and emotions in poetry.
You certainly have plenty of motivation and life experience to draw down from.
I don't know how you kept sane all those years. I've had my share of misfortune, nothing compared to what you went through though and there were so many times I felt like taking the easy way out.
Thank you for your poetry
Love and peace

Faith is sometimes the best thing we can have when we are at our lowest point, it doesn't last forever and eventually we see the light at the end of that tunnel. Excellent rhyme and flow.
Great work.
Great work.
