Let There Be Light

Location

Bleeding wrists

     drip

        drop

Broken neck, rugged rope

       creak

          croak

A shot in the night

        Bang

            thud

Blood all around

    Stool kicked to the ground

       Brains on the wall

            Watch them all fall

Their hidden tears dry

      as they die

         sadness goes away

              nothing remains

                   but a letter

A letter full of pain

      full of why?

        Why did you hurt me?

        Why do you hate me?

      What?

         What did I do wrong?

            I'm just being me

               Whats wrong with me?

And so they die

    wondering why

        make the pain go away

           nothing remains

Evil wins

  crushing out the lights

     stealing souls

        cruelty abounding

            the outsider dies

I vow to kill the evil

    drown cruelty out

        take the freaks in my arms

           hold the outsiders to me

              and let healing begin

Take away the knife

     stop dripping blood

Put back the stool 

      cut out the creaking rope

Jam the gun

       smash it to bits

Dry away the tears

       hidden silent sadness

Burn the letter

      painful words up in smoke

Let them know

     they're not alone

It's okay

    Make the pain go away

Take in the outsiders

                   shadows

                    darkness

                              in

                                  And let there be light
