Never

Never

Never do we ask to be

In a place where demons

Are free to rule

With aggression and

Pointed vile words

Never

Never do we beg to feel

The piercing points of

Words meant to kill

One’s spirit

Never

Never are we poised and

And ready to

Discover we are

Loathed and Hated

By those we love

Never

Never are we prepared

To defend our heart’s

Passions and faults

For our heart is who

We are inside

Never

Never are we meant

To shed a million tears

Regretting life

Regretting love

Regretting hope

Regretting faith

Regretting our own 

Existence

Never
