The Way


She rebels not because she wants to but 

because the world allows her to.

Consumed by all the pain in her life she 

looks for her escapr and she finds it

within the booze.

she sits and waits for the drink to give 

her the freedom but it only calms her 

into a state of numbness.

 

she rebels not because she thinks it's

fun but because she is welcomed into

the kingdom of poison 

the kingdom where she can choose to

lead herself into the path of destruction 

or the path of success

she rebels because for once she knows 

what it is to be so restrained, restricted with no way out 

the world allows her to rebel but 

she chooses to see the unseen and 

touch the untouched.

 

you look at her heart and see pain and

she looks at youe eyes and sees

answers.
