Following Hope
Until a new type of feeling sprouts.
And over one simple night, the wrath within is now drought.
I have no memories of being normal.
So this new influence I wish was terminal.
If only this feeling would not stray-
I would become a martyr in this decay.
But a train in the distance that seems so gentle-
Is coming fast- ready to dismantle.
I felt like a laughing child-
For the first time, my guilt is mild.
But my laughter is making others afraid.
These hoards of people at first felt like a parade.
My greedy delusions of happiness.
I was soon forced to confess.
And I will soon realize how I am bleeding out.
A normal life shall never sprout.
