The Path To Peace
Once upon a nightmare
Lived a child, born so still
A hopeless life bestowed
To a conscience lacking will
Nowhere, was innocence
The girl discovered sin
Concerned of nothing now
Unaware of storms within
And so the mourning came
Gloomy farewell to dreams
Numbness somehow aching
Though useless, began her screams
Post-mortem existence
Enslaved by every thought
Years spent self-destructing
Finding silence with a shot
