This is something i forgot i had in my hard drive. This was made about a year ago, though sadly i have forgotten the meaning to this poem. I will let you guys decide on what it means.


Something's changed

The clouds turn black

And the demons still remain insane

Everyday is a new battle of survival

Hearing the usual daily quotes

"Survival of the fittest"

"The weak will perish"

As i look into the mirror

I see the imperfect being

Looking closer i realize it's me

Bleeding from my head to my knees

The ashes smeared all over my face

And all i see is despair

The demons gather around me

beating me down to the ground

their words, their insults

cutting through my skin like knifes

I look in their eyes

I see the hate

burning like leprosy

As they finally leave me to be

My blood leaving a stain of pain and sorrow

I stand once more to try and carry on

i look down on the ground and i see a red rose

I pick up the rose and i start to see in the horizon

More roses on the ground

But they are withered and colored black

I realize why they are black

People that have fallen or could not bear going on

And the red, showing that i have survived

Despite all the hell that i went through

I became one of the survivors

I walk forward

To face whatever may come my way
