Have you ever felt?

Have you ever felt,

the cold and lifeless hand of an infant,

gazed into their unblinking eyes,and observed the face of death,

when masked in bittersweet innocence?

Have you ever touched your dreams,

and felt the simplistic joy,

of feeling them become reality,

only to abandon them,for reasons you cannot explain?

Have you ever watched your family,

who once shared the greatest of loves,

suffer an unforgettable and unforgivable tragedy,

that will slowly, painfully, and inevitably,tear them all apart?

Do you know, firsthand,

the evil that resides deep within the heart of every man,every woman,

and every child?Have you seen its face as it randomly seeks,

a soul to torment and destroy?Do you know the darker side of life,

the one that awakens you,in the still of the night,

crying to the unknowable God's,‘Save me from myself. '?

Does your heart constantly question,

whether humanity is obtainable,

in a world corrupted with suffering,and where war,

is the favoured solution for peace?

If you really want to know me,

and understand the forces that compel me to move on,

then take these questions,and take this pain,for this who I am?
