Life is what I Feel...



I arrived in anger,
a complete stranger,
seeking peace,
selfishness decrease...

I didnt request the hate,
it came to me freely,
from across the sea,
ancestors to live free...

Where it all began,
who remembers?
Why it still exist,
the mind cant resist...

Adults with 'hand-me-downs',
acting like a flock of clowns,
no reason to change,
a living derange...

Ive come to break the curse,
sent away in a hurst,
not needing to be first,
love is my thirst...

Entering in through the exit door,
no reason to even any score,
mending to each sore,
rising from the cold floor...

Hate is my enemy,
striking from behind,
crawling up my spine,
entering my mind...

Now...,
life is comfort,
life is peace,
life is real,
life is what I feel...
