Redemption

A body with two souls,
devil within an angel
Eyes full of fury and hate,
despising others as your enemy.
Awaiting the salvation of that one smile.

Like an unwanted rag doll, left behind to rot.
The intense feeling of numerous mosquitoes ready to bite.

Diary entries full of misery and grief.
Annoyance in ignorant beings;
temper like a steaming kettle.

Those five minutes of fame; flashes of interest
Soon to be washed away like dirt on your shoes

Trying to make each happy moment last forever.
Being free like a butterfly without its wings.
