every day is a stride

the anger has faded
wished curses have left
some one could have been dead
and my life behind bars

the extent of rage
that one may possess
unable to control fate
one's sanity is the test

but i chose to rise
one chance of survival
a plot of indifference
as punishment plays internal

she-devil is cast aside
her partner moved on
i carry the burden
from all that went wrong

a child's love, my addiction
i'll never feel that again
but i will press forward
until i find all of them

envy engulfs me
as a mother kisses her child
lumps of tears swallow silently
as life walks each new mile

i have compromized my life
false advertisement to the eyes
they see me smile happily
cuz they care not of my cries
(why should they?)

every day is a stride
a preparation for the unknown
a destination none other
than to bring them home
