Over

sorenbarrett

When you can't go home, banished and rejected

Where ever you roam, ignored and neglected

When you're all alone with no place to go

When you're on your own with nothing to show

When the only one that has your back is your front

And when done, you're told what you lack, and to punt

You're stronger than they think, the war you've already won

In no longer than a wink, this poor life will be done

Take heart and lift up your eyes

This is only the start, shout your battle cries

  • Comment from author about the poem: Punt is a term in American Football for when the team lacks confidence that they will be able to advance the ball they elect to kick it to the other team rather than give it over where it is at.

    'And when done, you're told what you lack, and to punt'
    that systemic, 'lack of belief'
    in our capabilities, we each
    have to overcome, everyone
    assuming our offense
    can't get it done, at crunch time
    when deep inside us, a flame
    blazes, yearning
    to scream our defiance, ignore
    'team' orders and shout to the world,
    'give me a chance, to shut you up!'
    and I'll rip your fckin throats out
    just watch
    my best is yet to come!
    (inspirational words wise Poet, love it
    thank you!)
