All You'll Ever Be


All You’ll Ever Be
All you’ll ever be
Is a fading memory.
Lost in the dark
Misery in your heart.
Scared and alone
With nowhere to call home.
Friends and family gone
Everyone has said they are done.
Done with your lies
Tired of hearing your cries.
You get no reprieve
Everyone sees you as a disease.
All the lives you’ve destroyed
All the people you’ve annoyed.
Your selfishness coming back to you
And your real colors are showing through.
Your enemies staring down
All of us ready to watch the shattering of your crown.
You will fall off your stolen throne
And none of us can wait until you are gone.
We wait for freedom
From all the things you’ve done.
All you’ll ever be
Is a fading memory.

  1. 2 things, I LOVE shinedown...
    Second, since I know what drives your poetry at the moment I find your stuff very well expressed. I have actually written a poem close to this many years ago. It's funny how we see people that seem to be destructive as "kings", or "queens", but that's what they feel like when they seem to run the show, but every show also has a curtain call and the lights will get turned off at the end of the night. :)
