fingers rested on cardboard
lingering on yesterday

unchangeable fates
ugly is in the heart

charred outside
radiant inside

the radiation is from destruction
the burns are all you see

happiness is felt
joy can become contagious

epidemics never to reach us
diseases we flee

toes scrunched into sand
hair flowing through space

time passes by
going in reverse

healing processes despair
victims come from hell

scribbling out your worth
digging up his past

compare and contrast
compromise and condone

things we do alter our fate
free will is intuition

embalm my words
crucify my sanity

for when you try
it is a destined demise

who hears the screams
angels turn their heads

demons weep and the faes sing
skeletons cower and ghosts shun
