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?
