Innocence Faded

By Fourknaz

Innocence faded
The sky parted and peered out upon it's gazers
Corrupted visions and painful stares
A lone child stands alone
Segregated from his family
For nothing but fear
Fear of acceptance
Fear of belonging
Fear of chaos
To live is to die
To die is to live
Miscontrued by many
Understood by few
Breathe the air that surrounds you
Taste the venomous hate
Smell the stinkfist of evil
Hear the calling of lost souls
Who were torn from their beholders
Blink for a minute
For to miss this is something to die for
