faint
Naked and fragile
I was born with no name
with nothing written on my life
only God finishing my frame
I was given A
the very first letter
for my mothers best wishes
for my life to be of the better
A is for the atrocities that I have caused from lying and cheating
from the times when i indulged in pleasures than do the feeding
A is for the animosity of the violent thoughts that cloud my mind
to refuse to follow the map to the destination i was supposed to find
A is for the anger that continues to dominate my thoughts
to throw everything away that my ancestors had bought and fought
I was given T
which goes from tough to tame
that nothing ever stays the same
T is for the terrible deeds I have commited
from promiscuous lust to being deathly enebriated
T is for the tears that live in my eye and have already flowed down my face
For the reason I was given them was to feel sadness and disgrace
I was given I
I is to refer to me
with one letter it becomes thee
I am constricted by a name denied to be free
I is for the insanity I see and live
for 364 days a year we rather receive than to give
I is for me being idle; to be unable to move
people die while I deal with a new pair of shoes
I was given F
all the way from an A
Have I fallen that far
to be known as a stray?
F is for the constant faliures I constantly see
with hope dwindling everyday falling further away from the tree
F is for my fate that is what I have become and what I can tell
all they way till you can faintly hear my funeral bells
My name was given and represents more than I have told
I know now that as I reach two decades old.
When will you claim this name back God.
That can only be on you. I can only do th ebest I can with the name that I have been given. May my life be blessed. Thank you for the life that I have. From the bottom of my heart.
