Trespass

Trespass

In life, I sometimes feel I trespass in circumstances beyond my control,

From one day to the next, I unexpectedly go from hot to cold.

I seek peace and tranquility, but I get turmoil and disarray,

For once, I would love to find a sense of belonging not be left astray.

I struggle with my inner being and the fight does not end in success,

I want to stop running and find a place of continuous rest,

I trespass through life with no stable place to call home,

In my mind, is that a rolling stone and will always roam.

The sun shines on my face as I stand on corner waiting for the light to change,

Walking the streets to find someone to talk to that does not act strange,

I feel the wind blow and smell the freshness of water fills my mind,

I see the beginning of the boardwalk where I sit and think where can I find,

The place I did trespass years ago but to the good and bad to where it causes me to remind

myself of a love I thought was mine but instead of seeing the whole picture, I became blind,

to the fact that God was showing me that this person was not for me,

Now I am searching for meaning to person that I am determined to be.

Learning from my past and looking forward to future gives me something to believe in,

There is only one way to go which is up and been losing for years so now it is time to win.

I start to think of what I was taught as a young man and a here comes a smile on my face,

I slacked off and took my eyes off the ball to lose my lead and fell into last place.

This is my time to work to regain what I took for granted what left me wondering all these years,

Throughout my life, I would just sit in my room thinking while my eyes filled with tears.

Now, things seem clearer as I fulfill my purpose to learning and belonging after leaving class,

To this day, being a student at York College, I know in life to never feel I have to just trespass.
