Lead My Way Home

by The Plain Truth   Apr 30, 2005


Honestly, I don\'t know...

Every darkened day I step through a door,
Into a place I’m doomed in forevermore,
And silently knelt crying on my own,
I pray so loudly to finally feel at home.

But nothing in this world could help me now,
I’m the only one, who really knows how,
And I’m too afraid to stand up to it all,
So I’ll let them trample me to my fall.

Them; the ones I once called family,
Are the ones who totally screwed the fu ck out of me,
They shattered my dreams and pushed me around,
Until the day, they forced me down.

And as I lay here broken, no one’s head is hung,
But the birds do cease to sing what once was sung,
And as some strangers pass me by, I find,
They’re stepping in the blood that once was mine.

So I’ll be the lonely girl who died under the stars,
The one that was never meant to go far,
And I’ll silently glide through the air alone,
Following the bloody footprints, you walked to your home.

-Megan Schroeder 2005

    Thank you, Cara.This poem is mainly about how I feel towards my family. Every time I go home, I get this odd feeling like I've come to the wrong place. Sometimes I get this feeling like I could change the way I'm treated if I tried, but I'm just too scared to. My hopes and dreams are constantly being shattered, and this poem is meant to say that one day, things just went too far. The strangers are actually my family, and they're stepping in my blood without a care. I feel the only thing left to do is follow them back to "their" home, the one I felt was never mine, and make them feel the pain I once felt. I know I didn't include any of this in my poem, but I wanted people to use their imaginations.

    Thank you, Megan.

    Wow Megan, again, you completly blow me away with your talent. This poem was a slap in the face of reality. It was wonderfully dark and yet for some reason I think almost everyone can relate to what you are writing about. Well, I know I can relate atleast. IS there a specific signifigance behind this poem or was this just one of those 'pop in your head' kind of poems? Please let me know..

    Thank you, hun. I appreciate your compliment, but more so, your critisizm. Not that you really did critize, but letting me know this is not one of your favorite pieces, it helps me to see what can be done differently in the future. Thank you.

    All My Love, Megan.
