Does It Exist
Does it Exist
The journey begins with promises
Hope sang sweet with a silver tongue
Smiles & laughter knew no bounds
Flying high on invisible wings
Life was bright like a shining sun
Tiny cracks appeared too soon
Always alone not knowing why
You choose to ignore & carry on
Toiling alone up stony roads
You’ve seen it all & so much more
Blood & guts spilled at your door
Guns & Gangs like High Chapparal
The Underworld, they’re a crazy lot
Years of torture, abuse & neglect
The problems just worsen year by year
You drown yourself in work & home
There’s no more you just an empty shell
The deeper agony pulsating inside
Lies dormant in a shallow grave
Happiness forever after…. does it Exist?
