Shattered Innocence

Shattered innocence and trust,
Are getting out of hand,
What makes someone take a life?
It's hard to understand,
It must begin in childhood,
Or simply lack there of,
Where stolen dreams,
Scar the mind,
Of those who just need love,
Revenge instead of healing,
Imitates a trend,
Irrational reactions,
Of those who did not mend,
Their history repeats itself,
The lessons never learned,
And so they're doomed,
And damned to a hell,
Of consequences earned,
So many injured parties,
Wandering about,
Secret torments held within,
Eventually break out,
To shatter innocence and trust,
Families and friends,
And viscious cirles spin around,
It seems, without an end,
Shattered innocence and tears,
Just fall upon the floor,
Where once, stood love's potential,
Is only found,
What for.

A Fine Line

It's a fine line,
Between sin and salvation,
A fine line,
Between temptation and will,
A fine line,
Between eternity and damnation,
And a fine line,
Between luck and skill,
It's a fine line,
Between faith and frustration,
A fine line,
Between savage and saint,
A fine line,
Between insanity and genius,
And a fine line,
Between love and hate,
It's a fine line,
Between have and have not,
A fine line,
Between hope and despair,
A fine line,
Between freedom and bondage,
And a fine line,
Between truth and a dare,
It's a fine line,
That wrinkles the forehead,
A fine line,
Carved deep your brow,
A fine line,
On the palm of your hand,
And a fine line
Between why and how,
It's a fine line,
Between questions and answers,
A fine line,
Everyone takes,
A fine line,
Straight and narrow,
Or a fine line,
Marked by mistakes,
It's a fine line
That draws the conclusions,
A fine line,
Between difference and spite,
A fine line,
That separates people,
A fine line,
Between wrong and right,
It's a fine line,
Between care and indifference,
A fine line,
Between wisdom and wit,
A fine line,
Between knowledge and ignorance,
And a fine line,
Between win and quit.
