You had to follow
To become their slave,
They sucked you into
The devils cave.
Giving into their commands
You became lost,
Within the shadow lands.
Trapped into a life of sins
A life of greed & pain,
Where nobody wins.
We tried to pull you out
You silenced our voices,
You couldn’t hear us shout.
Is it better there, than here?
Are the demons more friendly,
Than the ones you use to fear.
Send us a message or a sign
Regardless of your sins
You’ll always shine.

“A life of greed & pain,
Were nobody wins.” Isn’t that supposed to be “where” nobody wins? Beautifully written. I love how you keep it simple yet so powerful!

It’s very easy to become lost in the dark. Perhaps there, one can stay numb. But in reality, in the light all our short comings and flaws are exposed and suddenly we feel, and it hurts. But maybe something that shows us are true selves and even makes us feel pain is better for us, for in light there is also beauty and hope. Lovely one 😊
