outside of your grace...

i'm the stumbling man in the alley at dawn.
i'm the terrified hunted cornered by wolves.
i'm the dusting of snow in the crack of the walk
i'm a vapor, a memory, used and then tossed
i'm the uncherished orphan
the darkest of night
the stone cold dark shack
the bird wounded in flight
i'm the desperate wandering soul
in the cavern
the broken lost has-been
alone in the tavern
i'm every sad story that's never been told
i am hungry, hopeless, ashamed, and alone.
