Full Moon


When I close my eyes all I see is fear and pain

When I open then all I hear are screams of the people I love the most

I feel the agony of loss 

the tensions of what is next to come

The faces around me are not what they appear to be

Nobody can be trusted and the hand falls upon the only option 

Death

Put to death the endless torture of this world

Stop the suffering of mankind

End the pain and stop the flow of tears that fall upon the earth like rain

I never knew what true pain was

What it meant to have fear and shiver at the sight of shadows

Now I see why emotions are powerful

What their purpose is and why we have them

I wish I had them growing up, but I sealed them along with my smiles and happiness.

I am simple, not really into doing anything out of the ordinary or at least at a standard of what I believe in what my own personality.
