The Past and Future Merged

Innocence

In the beginning she was lost

A wallflower with no anchor to hold onto

She saw no reason for anything on earth

She only saw the innocent creatures ravaged

By the monsters that made her fear for innocence

Life had no purpose, no greater cause

Then she met her greatest challenge;

To overcome these beliefs for good

She tried, pushing with all her might

Yet the mountain was too great for her alone

Slowly, too slowly for her to notice at first

Others came to her aide.

To her they were her guardian angles

The only ones to ever see she needed help

However there was a price, and she paid

The excitement wore off and she saw the truth

They were no angles but wolves in sheep's skin

And again she was falling

This time her fall was so great that she believed it was the end

Their betrayal had to be the final nail in her coffin

She lay there lonely and cold, not willing to begin again

As she closed her eyes a blinding light shone on her

The way to salvation that she had been desperate for-

Hope, the emotion she feared above all began to bloom

Ensnaring her being

She stood up and began to walk

For days and years or maybe seconds

All that mattered was that she would not stop

And as her steps quickened, her spirit felt free

For the first time she alone was taking charge-

That was not to last, as she looked behind her

And saw her demons chasing her

Trying to bring back their trophy into the dark abyss

But she believed herself stronger than them

Stronger than all of God's damned creatures

And as she neared her destination she thought she had won

She entered that blinding light with an open heart

Wanting to see what positivity felt like

But what she didn't know was that nothing is what is seems;

Life is a hell with short diversions in-between

This heaven she thought she found was only a mirage-

The demons began to crackle

Taunting her, and at that moment she realised

The world is a cruel place and emotions are unwelcome

You either become cruel or you die

And she made her choice

She locked her emotions into a box and threw out the key

She walked to the demons with a grin on her face

She was now one of them

And together they would convert another innocent.
