I was Born to Mourn…
Do not weep for me but understand my pain.
My world has been like grains of
sand upon the shores of time, changing,
ever-changing, and washed out into
the sea of life. Infinity is in my soul.
Eternity floats upon the clouds of heavenly
moments.
My hours caged; my spirit angered
at the thoughts of those who have
walked away from my gate. My feet
have left their mark upon these
sands of time. Waves of tears splashed
upon the rocky cliffs of my mind
bearing scars of what I have lost.
My mind wanders to the caverns of
the past. A mother’s grief screams
into the endless nights, leaving
scars upon a heart that is already
torn and ragged. Words of doubt
have poisoned my faith. The days
are winding down. I was born to mourn.
