Poetry: How did I get here?

by Daniel Medina

Created on: June 09, 2008   Last Updated: June 11, 2008

Who Am I?
I wish I knew
I'm just a guy
That the unexplained happens to
I don't know if it's God himself who singles me out
Or if the Devil helps with letting me hang about
Hang over this fire
With gasoline soaked threads
They've destroyed all my desires
How and why am I not the one that's dead?
Not me, instead, they chose all the ones
Who I loved most, in broad daylight, under the sun


They've loosened all my strings
Giving me no type of leverage
They've taken away my wings
Leaving me to fall forever
God Who Am I?
Just another man destin to fail?
Why keep me alive
When i only suffer in this firey jail?
I hate who I am
Whoever that may be
My fate is to stand
Underneath the Devils stampeding flame covered feet
You see, I'm an open attraction for all the bad
And everyone elses problems
To me it's kind of sad
That I'm the one that's used to solve them
Who Am I?
I'm the man who always seems to be in the wrong
Just another guy who lost the words to his song
There's no joy
Just pain and sorrow
I'm just a boy
Who hates every tomorrow
I can't stand my todays
With a passion I hate my past
I want my future to go away
And my presenst to end fast
I'm just a mere kid in everyone's eyes
Someone who's always made out to lie
I can't even speak the truth, because of that I've always been deprived
But nobody cares, so why should I?
I wont, now I'm jus the guy
Who will no longer be there, I'm drifting off with time
