A Dark Heart

Life as a kid not thinking about much

Nothing about sadness, pain, and such

Little did she know that drugs would soon become a stress-relieving crutch

 

It all started simple; teen rebellion; all for fun

Nothing too serious, nothing really done

Years passed and life became more intense

Happiness now costing hundreds, and no longer cents

She started to realize that things were slowly getting worse

Scared, confused, and far too deep into everything

She blamed god for the curse

 

Her eyes gazed upon the sky, while tears streamed across her cheeks

And slowly fell off of her face

Wondering why she had become such a waste

So frustrated with her actions she decided to ease the pain with a knife

This river of blood revealed a new low in her life

 

She came to realize that ends do not always meet

So felonies were committed in order to pass defeat

All of her funds were for fun, whose duration was only measured in brevity

Distraught over the shortness, and the time that had been wasted away

Now realizing that dogs are not the only strays

 

Walking down the street she is passed by

Many stares from strangers due to the power of her cry

Vacant and empty without a feeling or remorse

Distraught about her actions, and their inherent course

 

Envisioning her family and loved ones alike

Makes each step and each breath a more painful might

 

Too close to the lives she has hurt and destroyed

Too angry with herself and far too annoyed

Thinking about her so-called life makes her sick

That it all ended with prayers, regrets, and a single click.
