THE GHOST I'VE BECOME
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
My life has been
Shrouded in a mystery
So many
Searching for the truth
Who are you?
But
Only I hold the key
Only I know the truth
"THE GHOST I'VE BECOME"
So many stories have been told
The horror
The amazing beast
Some may say
But
Can you prove it?
"THE GHOST I'VE BECOME"
No family
No friends
I never did
It's a walk
I made alone
"THE GHOST I'VE BECOME"
Never reaching the point
Of loneliness
As I proceed on my journey
Through life
Always keeping
A chill domineer
Always keeping
An open mind
"THE GHOST I'VE BECOME"
Everyone questioning why
I left home
Why would I leave?
My family behind..
Adopted..
Parents are gone...
"THE GHOST I'VE BECOME"
Separated from my family
As a youth
Fourth grade
Transition from one culture
To another culture
Thinking about
"THE GHOST I'VE BECOME"
