Outlaw Tears



An Outlaws Tears


Blood covered, tired and weary
A single tear falls
From the eye of an outlaw
Shamed , scared and battered
This life has taken its toll
This outlaw stands alone
Broken & lost his soul hangs
Cold n dark his heart has grown
Pistols smoking, emnimes falling
Nearly escaping death once more
His life not for the weak hearted
His life not for the soft minded
Silence he suffers in, pain his fuel
He lays his head down alone again tonight,
Sleep escapes him, his darkness starts to form
 As his minds fights the nights storms
He start to recall all of those hard
Life lessons that keep him stressing,
He has no choice now, he just keeps pressing
Cause no one can hear an outlaws tear

About this poem

I wrote this poem based on my many years as an outlaw biker and how taxing and killer this life can be. With over two years clean and sober, I wanted to share a piece of me.
