Turned Away
19 September, 2003
Author: Seizure
I have had my ups, I have had my downs
I have been set off, until my head pounds
I've been abandoned, I have been alone
I have been depressed, I've lost all I've known
I've tried suicide, I have been forgotten
I've been shot and stabbed, I've slashed up my skin
I've done several drugs, I have been to jail
I have tried my best, I always fail
I've lost my best friends, I've lost my family
I've lost everything, that makes a person free
I have been in fights, I've been hit by cars
I've been set aflame, I'm covered in scars
My jaw has been shattered, my ribs have collapsed
I've had surgery, my health has relapsed
I've lost my money, I've been on the street
I've been searched in public, cops threw me to concrete
I have moved away, haunted by my past
Trying to forget, but memories last
My hopes are shot down, and drug through the mud
I've worked my hands raw, until covered in blood
I too have just loved, another thing I've lost
I've slept in the cold, tears froze with the frost
I have broken down, I have lost my way
I've seen redemption, it turned me away

| Seizure (68.158.39.20) -- Friday, September 19 2003, 07:08 pm Out of the three new ones, this was my favorite. I have been through a lot, I just hope I can unload it in the next several poems because it's a burden I'm tired of carrying. Thanks for the comment Stacey... it's always appreciated. |
| Ash (24.97.207.94) -- Friday, September 19 2003, 07:14 pm From "Breath of Life." As always i enjoyed this one too. its nice to know that a person can go through so much and still be standing. You're amazing Seiz!! |
| Seizure (68.158.39.20) -- Friday, September 19 2003, 07:25 pm Yep, I'm still here. Don't know how, but I am... maybe I should write a book... just kidding. Thanks again Ash. |
| Ash (24.97.207.94) -- Friday, September 19 2003, 08:05 pm u r still standing. I'll be the first to buy your book altho i do expect it to be autographed lol |

| Ashley R. (66.53.130.215) -- Sunday, October 19 2003, 05:21 pm Seiz, When you wrote back to 'Ash', about writing that book, i was saddened to read that u were joking. Not saying that ur poems aren't enough, b-cuz they are so meaningful. But i think if u did write the book, it would be read by the viewers of your poems. I can tell, you have benn through alot of sh*t, and yet ur still here. If it were me, i wouldn't be here typing this message to you. I would have given up and said' to hell w/ it' and would go insane. But you show alot of courage to go through that. Ur my favorite poet. So, like what i go thru, or havebeen thru,you have writen in out in a poem. So thanks. |
| Seizure (68.19.43.36) -- Sunday, October 19 2003, 07:44 pm Ash, that book... hmm... what an idea. Ashley nb, thanks for the nice comment. LinzAy, got your computer unpacked yet? Ashley R, well, that gives me something to think about. I don't know if I'd ever write a book or not, but knowing there would be someone wanting to read it makes it a possibility. Thanks again everyone |
