All good is lost, And we pay the cost, As we watch our country burn; A shadow up ahead, In the path we now tread, A molester at every turn. A haven for girls, Kept decked up in pearls, Now amused as they stand defamed; What change came about? How sick can a man turn out? The law keeps the culprit unnamed! Hurting another with such fallen grace; Leaving her in pieces, feeling disgraced: Soiling her form, her mind, her life; It disgusts, hurts and saddens the soul, A father, a brother, a friend played the role: Shattering her dreams, her goals in a strife. Tainted now in the darkest of shades: *Her life is lost, a future fades; Faith is a myth, humanity a tale.* She's hardly alive, like the waking dead; *And though she weeps on her poisioned bed, She will live on bloodless and pale.*

In a decadent world like ours...
I woke up today with my head in pain I felt weaker than I was a day before In my bed, there were tear stains I coughed, blood on the floor Needles over here, needles over there Piercing my skin almost everyday I shoved the bitter pills even if I couldn’t bear I need it for me to live, for me to stay Each passing day, I took a deep breath Another day on being a burden Each passing day, closing near to death I can feel the hole in me widen
