ALIVE

FIRST TIME

Pain has made me insane
Turned me mum and numb.
Stole every bit of happiness
Leaving not even an ounce.

Kept me entrapped with calamity,
Ceased me from departure,
By all means of capture,
In the stain of torture.

Leaving no hint to the chase
When the imminent danger lingers
Now I have to run to safety,
But safety is still extinct.

It's futile to map this out
When there is no possible way out.
But we don't stop trying
There is always a next time to try.
