The gift

My head is down at my heart
as tears fall to my feet
forcing one foot in front of another
walking slowly down the street

Mutilating my self -respect
Drifting out of consciousness
Turning back on everything I love
Leaving myself completely lifeless

Wondering where I am headed
Hoping my heart will lead me to my destination
Building up enough will power
Understanding my own destination

Stopping so sudden
Coming back to realization
Starring into the eyes
Of one of gods most greatest creation

You smile at me
As you kiss me slow
Lifting my head up
Taking me out of the shadow

You have given me the gift
The gift to make me smile
To change my life around
My life is now worth while
