[hometext] => It started off as impersonal, but didn't end that way. PS: No, *descendence* is not a real word.
[bodytext] => How could such a bright, shining baby Become such a dark, demented thing? How could a fire that burned so bright Leave embers blacker than a moonless night? A kingdom once strong and united Now torn between 2 kings. A mind that once was strong Now decimated by split personalities. His grip on what was real was strong but now he lives in 2 realities: The nightmare of what has become of him, And the fantasy of what he could have been. From sun to shadow A dark descendence Such a friendly boy Now broods in the darkest corner and curses everything Yet ther is hope Rays of light penetrate the fear and hatred They break straight through the shell he made for himself And encourage him to reach out a tentative hand. They form a rope with which to pull himself out But there are some things to push him back sledgehammers of humiliation The impending smokescreen of fear The mist of the unknown They repell him Form a shell around him And fortify themselves But wherever ther is darkness there is a little light: Tendrils of love and friendship And wherever ther is evil ther is a lttle hope: help me.
