Such a strain to smile in this world full of hate. Stuck in a state of mind so hard to escape. Where do I turn back, when all I see is black? A bright flame lights the way, but it's still dark in my mind. In this place, I have to stay, since the way back I can not find. This place I thought I once knew. Long ago light used to shine through. A crack of light shows little hope. I once reached to the top of it all. Everything started to tear including my rope. I watched everything from above begin to fall. Where do I turn from here, when all the trails lead to the same place as before? I once understood when it all seemed so clear. I just wish I could have tied a knot of hope, before it tore.Birth sign: Pisces
