Be the Change
Demons longing to be released from their cage
Unleash their fury in a fist of rage
Life's not as simple as turning a page
Cycling rapidly these thoughts they can't disengage
Consumed by far too much hate
Doomed from the start at any rate
Unknown to unconditional love long ago sealed their fate
Mind a ticking time bomb lying in wait
Long ago their heart decayed
Crimson blood red is the only color from their life that didn't fade
Will never know if a difference kindness and love could have made
Ultimate price these fragile lost souls have paid
No place to rest their weary head
Restlessness settles upon them as it's time for bed
No relief, only nightmares so sleep too they dread
Once they self-destruct there's no telling if they're the only one who will wind up dead
Their hatred for themselves and life continues to grow
As does a wickedness for revenge as they're feeling so low
Be the change needed to help re-write how the rest of the story will go
Let the love and compassion in your veins into anothers whose is struggling to flow
