The Ashes of Society

Running from yourself; getting a head start to a place unknown. Wearing a mask of iron, never seeing tomorrow, never living today, drowning in a sea of grievance. Sailing down a river of hell without a paddle hoping to crash on a shore of peace. Soaring like a bird high above the sky, reaching for the hope, the love, the life i need. Feeling as low as a snake wishing i could bite the hope i need. Sinking in a sea of sorrow; my soul bleeding with all the anger built up inside like stakes in the ground. My heart is singing silently for a dream, my mind thinking about all the regrets the missed opportunities in my life. Praying for the world, seeing all the hate, crying for all the children living in this hell they did not and could not make; caught in a fire of fear burning, simmering in the ashes of society forever nailed to the stake of defeat.
