Take Me Away Poem by Stephanie Blake

I'm so tired from all this walking
and my eyes cant bear the sight of this world
my heart is longing for devotion
and of the promises we are told
for every human may be lead to deception
or to lie, cheat, and steal
but my heart is longing for a connection
reaching out to somthing real

when i go speeding down the highway
or down a pint of beer
i keep on washing away my sadness
but i can still feel you near
even when i claim your not in existence
or slay your beautiful name
its because I feel so broken
its because of all my shame

I walk down these barren sidewalks
I see gang memebers, drugs dealers, and slums
I keep asking for somthing to cure this
but i know that all these fixes are wrong

I can not help but to feel abandoned
I can not help but to be confused
you see, my faith has been diminished
you see, I have been used

I can not see your face or brillance
or feel you hold me to fall asleep
Yet I am to give up everything I've held onto
to receive the promise that you'll keep

I must admit I am scared to leave this
all these slums and my useless device
I am scared that I can not make it
I try to move forward but I am enticed

I try to run from these drugs and the violence
but I feel the pain across my chest
I have to down 6 pills and liquor
just to give my mind a rest

but in the moring i awake from slumber
to move on to yet another day
and i wonder if i keep moving away from you
will i awake to yet another day?
