[hometext] => This piece was inspired by hardships that i have endured. It was written through the observation of what i see in the world today.
We all have our own skeletons in our closets. Search for yours and release them. [bodytext] => All around me, I see the world dying. Acid rain melting away all hope of better days. The world is spiraling downward into a bottomless pit. Farther and farther, faster and faster it falls. I am falling with it. slowly forgetting what life really is. I feel, from deep within my soul, the burning hatred of my past. Hatred brought forth by my stolen youth. Youth that has been stolen by age and circumstance. I can not subdue this hatred any longer. As time goes by, I can feel it burning stonger and hotter than ever before. I realize now that this same hatred burns within all mankind. If we release this hatred, let loose this stolen youth, we may all learn to live again. Then we may see hope in our future. We may realize that life is worth living.
