Untitled....

 

Have you ever felt,

The cold and lifeless hand of an infant,

Gazed into her china doll black eyes,

And observed the face of death,

When masked in bittersweet innocence?

 

Have you ever touched...your dreams,

And felt the simplistic joy,

Of feeling them become reality,

Only to abandon them,

For reasons you cannot explain?

 

Have you ever watched your family,

Who once shared the greatest loves,

Suffer an unforgettable and unforgivable tragedy,

That will slowly, painfully, and inevitably tear them all apart?

 

Do you know....first hand,

The evil that resides deep within,

The heart of every man, woman, and child?

Have you seen its face as it randomly seeks,

A soul to torment and destroy?

 

Do you know the darker side of life,

The one that awakens you,

In the stillness of night,

Crying to the God’s

"Save me from myself"?

 

Does your heart,

Constantly question,

Whether humanity is obtainable,

In a corrupt and suffering world,

Where war is the only solution to peace?

 

If you want to know me

And understand the forces that compel to move forward

Then take these questions

And take this pain

For this is who I am
