The Games
/b Typing wrong in first one. /b
The census was in and I had lost.
The illusions had tricked me.
I was cornered into this reality.
The fallacy was not comprehended.
My hope was lost in a sea of despair.
My situation was grave.
I had been spoiled by the pain.
The sap ran down the tree of my soul.
I had been cast out of happiness.
My tears were turned inward.
They left me with the guilt.
I had ceased my trust.
Their sins built the walls within me.
I perceived oneness.
There was no conveying the truth.
No one had taken my cause.
I was dying a million times over.
I was torn between life and death.
