From the depths of the souls did pour
pain and anguish long endured
Loss of loved ones they held so dear
desperately yearning to have them near
Hidden secrets tortured their souls
frail addled prisoners of their own sheol
Abuse and neglect silently rots their flesh
suffering an agonizing mindset death
Mourning the life that was wasted
aimless, drowning in deception
Clinging to drugs and alcohol
escaping the pain, their mission
Day in, Day out, left to mewl
exposed to public ridicule
Lost and alone in suicidal thoughts
desiring a world where torture is not
Out from the darkness a glimmer of light
afraid to reach out, they tried to hide
The light pursued them into their hole
penetrating every ounce of their soul
Nourishing, cleansing deep within
restoring the life that once began
A glimpse of the better things that lay ahead
gave them the confidence to once more stand
