That Evil

All around me, feelings swirl

an impenatrable fog of confusion.

Theres no one emotion,

its all there together.

Pain, trouble, despair, hate

all forming a cacoon around me.

Surrounding me with distress,

filling me with despair.

I fight to break free,

but it just pulls tigher.

It forms stronger bonds to hold me better.

I cry as I lift my head to the sky

begging the ones up there for answers.

What is the point of this life I lead?

Why must I suffer so?

But all I get in response is silence.

Is there anyone up there to hear my plea?

Is there anyone left who cares?

Where are those made to help us?

I count the tears as they fall from my eyes,

stream down my face and hit the ground.

These tears I cry, I dedicate to all.

All those who have caused them,

all those who have wished them fall.

YOUR wish has finally come true,

my spirit has finished breaking apart.

I watch the smiles light up your faces,

through the tears that drown mine.

Why does my pain cause you such hapiness?

How does my despair feed your joy?

Please, explain this to me, its beyond my grasp.

How can one persons cries cause such anothers smile?

How can causing someones pain bring you joy?

What fills your heart, turns it to lead?

What evil corrupts your soul?

Is it that same evil,

that grows stronger with every tear that falls?

Is it that same evil,

that loves to see anger and hate?

How do youy rid yourself of that evil?

Or do you even try?
