"Iron Bars"
Iron bars can not bound me ,this Concrete prison isnt my only cage
Decissions I made have left behind a life full of rage
Absent minded apologies fall upon deaf ears
Ive been tried and convicted in the eyes of society and all its peers
Like a bird on a perch I yearn to be set free
Feed me handfuls of knowledge but you cant make a blind man see
I have free will I can choose the path I wish to take
I know the cost of my disappointments, what loss is at stake
Something stronger then myself has staked a claim
Distorted my sense of reality on placing the blame
I am a child of the Lord, but I am made of human skin
I shall ask for his mercy and forgiveness in my time of sin
Truth be told my future is there for the taking
A second, third , fourth chance no time too keep mistaking
Power of love and prayer is the core of strong foundation
Please have faith in me as I walk down road to my Salvation.

Comment by Bobby Z on February 12, 2010 at 12:31am - actually on feb 8 i went to the shitty city of guelph (which is sometimes crazy university kid fun) but my 40 yr old friend got drunk and fell down the stairs broke his thumb, big enough pool of blood, ambulance and cops questioning people how he got drunk. this was all very stupid and not something i choose. so i dumped the frend, shit out the city, cleansed the negativity of that crap and found my bank 3oo bucks lighter for the shittiest weekend i can remember..so im not welll....but a few stoner walks in the woods released the shit vibe and a lifetime of crap coonected to my negativity from childhood that attracts equally negative damaged people. and of course the lost inner child..............f**k. hope your friend can relate to how stupid this planet can get...............

- to me a prayer is just a thought. no scary superstition. just me and the my universe, my creation and hopefully self love. your poem is healthy in its venting. i suggest just choose to erase the silliness of the past. i do it a lot. i guess thats just human nature and negative programming. negativity pisses me off so i love erasing it. its just like being my own god (god likes that im sure). so i get freedom, no guilt,less negativity and all that happy stuff..........peace...........over
