Podium Of Life
Here at the podium
strength of my life
Time to now speak
Settle for this
Momentum is mine
I pray for the weak
Leave hope in the past
Eternal I wish
With death now surrounding
every small step
every last word
every last breath
Here at the podium
I speak my last peace
Pay homage to life
say sorry enough
I burned many bridges
lashed out with anger
Held in contempt
a story of must
Must feed a strong family
must earn my own place
must fight everyday
this life of decay
I suffer in silence
like many before
I lust a new change
my heart is unsure
Here at the podium
tears to my eye
I’ve lost my last battle
no words to deny
