My Own Poem

IV

"I Am Home"

Years I've spent in vanity and pride
Caring not those people around me
Blinded by my evil desires
Covetous over nothing to gain

They say, "Past is past so move on"
How could I move on if it's haunting me?
Filled my heart thirsty for vengeance
Turned my mind wanting for revenge

Then left everything I have
Killed my old, weakling self
Rejected those who loved me
Harmed anyone who gets in the way

I became the fearsome destroyer
Which brings destruction to anyone's lives
War is what I always wanted
There is no peace in my soul

Many loathed and cursed at me
Because of my selfish lust for power
Tried to slaughter those who valued me
Denied those who still cared about me

Some already gave up on saving me
But some didn't, specially you
You are a very persistent one
You endured all the anguishes

When realized all the mistakes I've done
Felt a great shame and regretfulness
Thought that I should end my life
Yet you instilled hope and direction

Now I've decided to go back
There I saw the gladness in your eyes
You welcomed me and gave a genuine smile
Wrapped your arms in mine, feels I'm already home
