Vanessa Kingsley (March 16th / Colorado Springs, Colorado)
A Life is A Life
Your mind unravels slowly
Your eyes are closed shut
You tremble because you're lonely
Your future has turned to dust
My life has started crumbling
My defenses not so high
My voice is horribly
My sense now are numb
Her secrets keep he rbound
Her truths and lies are portrayed
In every love she has found
She slowly slips away
He looks up at his ceiling
He is taunted by unshed tears
His body red with bruises
His mind is without feeling
We live our lives in fear
We live our lives in hate
Sadly we cannot escape our destiny
Our fate
We cry and scream
We laugh; we bleed
We want to love
We want to need
We want our piece
We want our lifWe ourselves at any price
We need our dreams
We need our hope
We need to love
we need to cope
Yet we can't
Te we won't
We aren't allowed to be us
A life is a life. So sad; it's true
