Poem
Innocent eyes Born to us all Will keeep us safe And far from harm Blind to the wicked The hard times and worry The things we burden And bear until it hurts *But in one moment Everthing changes The wall is broken And we are all alone* Soon we take notice To all we never knew It was always there But now its not so clean The screams of sin Drown out the purity Painted in our souls Tempting us to give in Intoxicated youth Is the point of our downfall Making just one mistake By doing what's wrong Just one taste Of the forbidden ways Stains our lips And fills us full Such sweet poision A new kind of feeling May take al of this If we let it Yet lessons learned May be enough To make the choice And stay straight To avoid the darkness No matter how much You might want it It's never worth it * Over all We can go down Or we can stay even How strong is your will * The path we lay In stepping stones Of memories and moments The life lived and not yet lived When our hearts Are soiled and dirty Ask yourself if you like it Or that you don't like being so heavy The good, the bad, the closed To open what's in your mind Are your thoughts stirred and unfocused Or vivid and collected Innocent eyes will watch the shield Fall, seeing the sins of corruption But will you let it walk Into the devils arms A realizing reality What may look good, doesn't Always be the right for you Look at the world All around you,what surrounds you See the lives before you Where are you in the mix Ask yourself this Question after question Find all possible outcomes Then find yourown
