~Reality~

A Life so bleak...
Darkness, misfortune day and week,
controlled as if by puppet strings...
crumbled words, tethered wings.

I stand here alone,
taking in the pain,
enduring the cold,
crying with the rain...

Joy is a sin,
truth,  forbidden...
Glass raindrops fall pon one's head,
the single rose - black, yet red.

I stand here alone,
taking in the pain,
enduring the cold,
crying with the rain...
