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.
