The Restless Youth
glittery souls, half-took breaths
rest-less hearts, uncleansed mess
coated daggers, red-stained walls
unseen brutality, unseen by all
a cripple depression, unheard cries
no long here, a thousand lies
empty halls, an abandoned house
riveting drugs, a burdened louse
then to it is gone, for these are the ways of old
you would be surprised what lies underneath the mold
buried way beneath us
as we all turn to dust
