the path

Ishmel Walker 2003 (Aiken , SC)

June 22 
Free verse
A life of loneliness is upon me hollowness bewilderment a life of past time regrets; a life where happiness is fleeting even sadness-so a place where even satan himself wouldn't go. A place where time wouldn't flow and even a place our god couldn't go even though I walk this treacherous path I still walk through without even the deadliest laugh.-Ishmel walker

Ishmel Walker

I'm from South Carolina I moved to New Mexico because my mother said I was a troublesome kid so I moved with my father I'm currently 18 and I have goals in life But I notice I put roadblocks in my own way for no reason well maybe their is a reason maybe fear and life I'm trying to find people that will grow with me you know what Socrates said people are like dirt they can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die more…
