NO MORE am I confident in what this world has to offer Its people are selfish and crazed Chewing up and spitting out the meek and mild souls Imprisoning an empath to suffering and pain NO LONGER can I look upon life fondly With that pure yet innocent gaze I've been stripped of the wonderous excitement that curiosity can bring And replaced it with an anxious but violent haze NO MATTER the extent to which I try to recover My mind keeps taking me back to those horrific days Where a person or persons exorcised their demons Placing those vivid memories on a continuous loop of play NO DOUBT I'm broken and tainted Which is quite short of filing it all away I cannot condone or explain exactly why Those that slaughtered my reality did NOT somehow pay

Slaughter Of Innocence
NO MORE am I confident in what this world has to offer Its people are selfish and crazed Chewing up and spitting out the meek and mild souls Imprisoning an empath to suffering and pain NO LONGER can I look upon life fondly With that pure yet innocent gaze I've been stripped of the wonderous excitement that curiosity can bring And replaced it with an anxious but violent haze NO MATTER the extent to which I try to recover My mind keeps taking me back to those horrific days Where a person or persons exorcised their demons Placing those vivid memories on a continuous loop of play NO DOUBT I'm broken and tainted Which is quite short of filing it all away I cannot condone or explain exactly why Those that slaughtered my reality did NOT somehow pay
One single act, be it wonderful or horrendous, can change someone's world forever...
