The screams of the night
The sky turns black
Fear runs down your back
There’s no hope in the world
Why are we here
We all end up in the same situation,
Dead.
We all die, when It’s not you,
It’s someone else
The day you are born is the day you start rotting
You may deny it, like I did but
You will see, it is the truth
The guilt burns, sadness kills and hate rots
We are filled with everything
But in the end
Life rots inside you

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem on November 24, 2010. I wanted to write about people who think there is no hope. It is sad to think about, but there are people out there like that. I use to think like that but I turned around. I looked into the light and I turned my ways around. It’s never to late. I hope you enjoy this poem.
