"Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you're going to get."


Brokenness of their soul,
The hope fading away,
Mind fading off to nothingness

The smell radiating off them,
Trumps the people around,
They are rough around the edges

Vulnerability is seen,
But never heard
Their silent cry for help
No one is there to listen

Every day is a struggle,
A mystery at midst
Will today be their last day?
When will the struggle end?

Pain floods them,
As they drift to a sleep.
Only to wake
And go through it again

The fact that we turn away when someone is crying out for help shows our true character.
