Never Alone on Christmas
Updated: Jan 9, 2022
It's hard sitting here on Christmas Day
it's the first holiday alone
since my family walked away
it's my integrity they disowned.
There's not a way that I can find
nothing to be said that would change my mind
There's no way I can see
no way that I can ever agree
when they scream "All Cops are Bastards"
and watch them bring nothing but disasters.
I know what it's like to live in a lawless city
I do want people to feel sorry for me
damn it! I DO want their pity.
I so badly need someone's help
God knows I've screamed and yelled.
No one hears, no one comes
as my soul is shattered piece by piece
my community laughs and shuns
they insist I change my beliefs.
As loud as I scream
as long as I'm stuck in this bad dream
I refuse to change, to comply
so stop begging and asking me why!
I will NOT sacrifice my integrity
to gift you with any pleasantly.
I'll continue to fight
for what I believe to be just and right.
I'll be sitting alone on Christmas night
always protected by God's love and in His light.
