The blade is drawn across her porcelain skin. She screams as her weak attempts to heal herself fail again. One for every imperfection. They line up like tally marks Counting off the cruel delusions That haunt her in the dark. Their stones broke through her Like plates crashing on the floor. Now the red cracks are spreading As she fails to reach the door. And in the quiet of the night she shatters.
The end of the gun is pressed against his head. He weeps As he remembers all of those who fed Those indecencies that have devoured him. There is nothing left He is an empty husk He took out everything that they didn't like And placed it at their feet asking is this enough And It never was So he kept carving to become something they were pleased with Something they could actually look at Until he realized they had taken all of it So He had to take the chance That this gun was the way to gain their acceptance This was what they always wanted And he would give it to them The last remaining part of him And with a loud bang he shatters.
This is our generation Filling our emptiness With the realization Of our weakness We are makeshift puzzles of perverted desires and empty holes. Never quite being whole. Placing idols and obsessions as our foundations. Eventually it all falls apart, But out of the dark Rose a cross. Bringing hope for healing And completing The holes that had been there since the beginning. Light floods through the cracks That acted as maps To our wandering souls. Once tracing the way To destruction Now leading to a rebirthing Into the life of one made whole. There is hope in the road less taken. For in it one finds home.
