WHAT HAVE I DONE?

WHAT HAVE I DONE 

So painful sometimes,  life comes that way
Like HIV with no cure so does it
Living crying lifestyle as normalcy 
In the house like nest of vultures 
Where jollity avails not but in the air

What have I done to deserve this? 
My tears filling the pit I never dug
Even parents died in my help need phase
Haunted by spirits I never summoned to prevail 
Tracked to death by the dead in graves
Married but no kids of my own

What have I done to acquire such life? 
Still young but begot an old crone's face
Jiving poverty's melodies in shanty pentagonal hut
Strively earning like someone boiling water with solar sun
Yet born crippled as if I came battling witches

What have I done? 
Planned to achieve but acquired not even less
Worked for little on undeserving human labour
This life's burden has overweighed my limits
What must l do my dear brethrens? 

For the sourness of life kills the living
I'm always accused over cases I never commit 
Always on crossfire everytime I walk
Always a suspect on every arising crime
Even when my face blooms with innocence 

I've Traveled 3/4 world begging for help
Troubled uncountless prophets pleading for mercy
Still no change only terror
My hope finally scattered like blowed chuffs
I await God to resurrect me from shambles
In the waiting palace of Christianity beings

FREE VERSE POETRY!!! In this poetry book. I explain my struggles, my thoughts, and my emotions. A lot of these poems were written after or during something. I show and explain how I feel daily when I overthink. It's about all of the things I never let go of in life. I learned a lot from this, especially that you can't outrun these problems. You can't let go of them either, because they mean too much to let go. This poetry book was more of a journal than a book itself, because usually when I was sad or something, I would write about it. In this poetry book, you will see a lot about love, because my whole life is built around that. I thank you for those who cheered me on throughout the making of this. I thank the people who cared enough to help me through these parts of my life. SECTION 1: ~a million words~ timespan: september - mid-december SECTION 2: ~the letters i never addressed~ timespan: december - january SECTION 3: ~a few more words... please.~ timespan: beginning of january - end of april In the early stages of this book. I cried a lot because I was scared to even write these poems. Knowing it will be the truth, and for once, people will know me for me. Because these problems aren't just mine. They are yours too, because it is so sad that a lot of teenagers go through a lot of the same things. To those who read this, thank you for taking your time to understand me. It means a lot, tons. Sometimes I think that others shouldn't worry about my issues or problems when they have their own to worry about. This happened a lot, and some of these poems were written with my tears. I thank YOU, for making me remember that people are here for me, no matter who they are. Along with that- Enjoy! I hope that you like this, as much as I did write it. It's my everyday thoughts, my emotions, my tears, and what I never would say to anyone a year ago. And I never let go of these things, because I just learned to live with them. Morgan Hayes
