This life tears,
and this life rips.
It burns the soul
and tightens its grip.

The unexpected happens
and you feel like giving in.
You wish you were dead
and you wait for pain to begin.

You wonder why
the world is a living hell.
You rise to power
to know nothing ends well.

The glares you send
to the people you love
are because no one is there
for you in heaven above.

You lie on the floor
begging and pleading,
"Someone! Just end this,
my emotional bleeding!"

You show your anger
and feel your rage.
Why won't you forgive
and turn the page?

This piece, I wrote for a friend when he was going through a hard time.... He didn't understand that I saw what he was going through. this was the only way he realized it.
