[hometext] => Life changes, nothin stays the same. you can ignore it all you want, but the harsh reality will always be there, just don't turn around!!!
[bodytext] => Where once were happy faces, I now see hollow souls. Where once their chatter made me smile, Their hearts are empty holes. Where once I knew there was peace, I now know conflict stands. But it isn't amongst the friendships, It's inside away from helping hands. Where once they shared their feelings, They now keep bottled inside. They're confused by their emotions And ashamed, so now they hide. Where once they saw their future, they now see darkeness and hate. They wish they could control their life Instead of rely on fate. Where once there seemed a point to things And a reason to be alive. There now stands doubt and hesitation But still there is an unseen drive. Where once the set purpose to live was visible And emotion was everywhere There is now this 'existance' It's not seen, or heard, just there. Where once this existance was enough To keep them from turning back There is now a greater need The reason to life, is what is lacked. Where once certain things were ignored, there is now a level of thought That haunts you in the night hours The answers to questions saught. Where once their mind was strong, And nothing could make them cower. Their reasoning is distorted Like the wilting of a flower. Where once their cry for help Could make things all go away There is now an eternal Tyrant That will be with them till their last day. Where once a simple word or smile, Could change their state of mind It now remind them of failure And blackens the heart of their kind. Where once their was love and hope, And happiness and faith and life, There is now the stone cold memories And the grief of their life-ending strife.
