I'm Ashamed

by iluvbaseball

I was raised in the view. Taught to be a young lady. I took the college courses. I always had my nose in a book. I was a quiet, baby-faced kid. NOBODY could of predicted what happened...

1. Chapter 1

I have to speak loud,
So my voice is heard.
I need to open my eyes,
So my visions not blurred.
It's Time to step up to the plate,
Actions Speak louder than Words.

There's so much hate in this world that we're living in.
Evil keeps on creeping in,
Making it hard to know the right thing to do.
Getting caught up in the moment that could cost you your life.
It's a constant battle on who lives or dies.

Tears fill my eyes, because everyday this world is being stripped of its youth.
The innocence that was once within is now where the devils made his nest in.
Taking away all that we've known, where Love,
Peace and Harmony are become nothing more than words.

When War, Crime and Hate is what fills our polluted air.
All the while we just stand there,
When if there's ever a time to do something it's now.
So it's Time for me to speak LOUD,

So my VOICE is heard.
Gotta' OPEN my eyes,
So my VISION's not blurred.
I'm Gunna Step up to the Plate.
Because ACTIONS speak LOUDER than WORDS.

The people of Castle Rock would find it hard to believe quiet Fawn Lathem wrote that poem…
