Finding Hope

It's a bottomless pit

the hatred inside me grows bit by bit

The never-ending cycle repeats

as the child inside me suffocate on the lonely streets

The emotion claws inside me to be released

but the overwhelming feeling loses upon seeing the beast

So I keep the emotion at bay

killing myself day by day

Now the spark's gone

leaving behind the beast's spawn

The heart inside me split

into pieces that cannot be knit

As I lay here on my bed

all I see is dread

While I hear what's said

I can't help but watch myself shred

thread by thread

No matter how much I plead

Universe just never agreed

All I wish is to flee

and that's my only plea

Someday I'll say with grace

when I escape the terrible place

Standing feeling free

as strong as palm tree

Then may the universe aloof

for the life it disproof
