Inanimate Hopes

Crystal ball what do you see

Why is the world laughing at me

Tell me what can you foresee

Show me where to regain my integrity

Crystal ball do you mock my lack of dignity

Give me answer, give me a clue

What is there left for me to do

If I ran without a plan to ever return

Would I destroy the flame inside that makes me burn

Do i stay inside the shadows, and simply remain so shallow

Why do I rant, and sit to bellow, throw you hard against the wall

Shatter my last hopes to end my fall, I feel my insides bleed

Picked up the shards, proceeded to feed

Choking to death on a crystal ball
