homeMADe poISON

So young and innocent yet mature and fragmented
no vision of future, darkness kept her blinded
she could have been anything with a little guidance
parents not present, solace sought in substance
*
no hope because we can't bring back our yesterdays
picture peace, in a life absent of armies
sleepless war pain sticks like a mask onto her face
coins outweigh compassion, with morals misplaced
*
searching for sunshine but it's concealed from the rain
forfeit a lifeline, its hidden by pain
incompetent decisions to reach survival
test the truth, heal the heart, forever faithful
*
Remnants of our past mistakes cloud our future
don't let them see tears, when our eyes gain moisture
hear her story then you have met a real soldier
beautiful, heart of gold, a fearless warrior
