Never be the same

Never be the same

You will never be the same.
As this life drags slowly by,
It takes all the hostages.
Never showing any mercy.
Deeply digging it’s claws into our souls.
Perishing our loved ones.
Leaving us hollowed and empty.
Suffocating the dreams away.
Scarred, left behind by it’s paralyzing poison of agony and pain.
Drowning hopes and passions.
Cheating children out of their innocence,
And leaving our hearts pierced by its greed.
Smothering our spirits to silence.
Sadly, we know there’s no turning back.
Life as we know it, will cease to exist.
Vaporizing all that was cherished.
With a full belly, it is exiting now.
It will be back soon, evil cravings and all.
To may times this family has been struck.
We are unsure of any future.
It’s time to try to heal, not fix.
How many more can we afford to miss?
