When life's wicked hardships came in the tide
You always seemed to be close by my side
Like a kind guardian and swiftest guide
As I gripped, clawing my way as I tried
+
Clawing my way over every trial
Clawing across all of life's putrid bile
Clawing past every maiden's denial
Clawing through all that was so deeply vile
+
The world has hated my very own face
Told me that I did not have any place
Rejected me from any real space
Tossed me into deep shadows, forgotten
+
But I was not dead, my heart still beating
Caught such to a thing that was not fleeting
Your drive and purpose, for my completing
To finish the tasks thus given to me
+
Wounded I bleed all my beautiful words
Food for all the carrion, feast for the birds
Lost within all of life's creative herds
Trying to provide the meaning that drives
+
Clawing through the mud and the thickest mire
When all of life’s thoughts seemed so dark and dire
And surrender seemed so soon to transpire
You told me continue, to not expire
+
To not let the world my destiny make
To not let my will so easily break
To not let mishaps so easily take
The great joy that you have conferred to me
+
Whether in beauty by my own drawing
Or when quite so busy at life's gnawing
Over defeat and rain of tears falling
To keep on going, bleeding and clawing
About the Creator
Caeizar
Take a drink from my words and see. See the words that make truly me. Let me be your mysterious guide, to unveil the visage I try to hide.
