THE DARK TRUTH



I fought all of these alone
through the awful things I've not known,

even in between a mob of people
deep down, I was always unequal,

it was at that moment my very own people staked my heart
but I didn't know how to drift them apart,

I wondered why everything turned this way because all I did with them was prayed,

all these souls on earth are evil
as they are the menials of the devil,

but as the world opened, the door she was already lying on the floor
