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
