&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;When does it end? This path I call wrath, for it is a journey filled with pain, anquish and sorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;I sometimes ask myself, &quot;is life worth living?, Should I just end my tomorrow?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;As I walk this path I call wrath, I seem to see so many rivers of tears, and wonder if they will ever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;disappear through the years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;Every year that passes me by, as I walk a new valley, I see black roses that seem to shrivel into ashes as I pass them by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;There is constantly darkness that surrounds me, and I ask myself &quot;why?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;Why does my soul continue to hurt and to cry?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;As I walk this path I call wrath, these rivers of tears seem to be the most dreadful of all,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;for these rivers are the only, that can truly make fall!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;Every breath that I take is a second closer to loss, I then think &quot;when again will this dreadful river of tears need to be crossed?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;I dread them so dear, for they have filled my heart soley&amp;nbsp;with emptiness, blackness, and fear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;They have damaged my soul, and competence to withhold any happiness, and only to draw tears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;I have lost the ability to trust, and any happiness I seem to establish only turns into&amp;nbsp;to dust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;When does it end? This path I call wrath? A journey that continues to make me dread what withholds me tomorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;God willing, with all the faith I can possibly borrow, maybe one day my heart will no longer be hollow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;u&gt;A Threshold&amp;nbsp;To Let Go&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;u&gt;(&lt;/u&gt;Written November 2012)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;I freguently check my texts and emails in the hopes that he&#39;ll come back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;I&#39;ve destroyed something precious, now he&#39;s gone, so I must face that fact&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Catastrophic impulses certainly were not my natural intention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hence the dynamics of foolish arrogance, I have shattered our ever so joyous connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Why should he feel anything more than disgust for me now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;For my actions were far worse than the stumbles of an arrogant drunken clown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;How my heart aches to affirm that the negligent behaviors portrayed are not customarily that of mine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Grievously, I am aware of the delusive desire to turn back the hands of time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;So agonizing, survives the puncture that I have brought into my own existence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;The vision of his heavenly&quot; all &quot; painfully compels the banishment of his beautiful essence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Acceptance, destined to be the only healer of my wounded components&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amidst, the tormenting embrace of these ever so heartbreaking moments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;When a child is growing up, there is alot they dont have any control of.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Any pain and suffering that they endure, eventually is what they become made of.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;In some cases people can be weak, they give up and lose sight, they forget about direction, and the most important values in life.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;William contrary to this, stood focused and decided to fight back.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;No matter what obstacles came into his life, he chose to stay on track. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;People who knew William couldn&#39;t help but to want to get closer to him, because he had such a BeaUtifuL heart.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;He was loving, loyal, courageous, funny and so smart.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;The love he had for his friends and family was SO intense! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;He would give anything rather than see them go through any pain.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;His friends and family were always the reason; the reason for his&amp;nbsp;beiNg, his strength and his vain. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;I myself love William and look up to him so much. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;He was my guiedance, my friend, and my hero.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;I never took for granted a moment that I spent with him because the advice he gave was always so right. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then the day came that the our good Lord decided, that it was time to give him his gift; the gift of eternal life.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;William is in a beautiful place right now looking down at all of us.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;He is full of joy, happiness, and excitement, EAGER just to say what awaits all of us.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;For now we must be strong&amp;nbsp;for him&amp;nbsp;and live our lives&amp;nbsp;appreciatively with what yet remains.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;He awaits us, and he is smiling down knowing that we will all be with him again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;I grievously convince myself that everything is going to be ok.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am sure of this, only because I have his&amp;nbsp;vigorous blood running through my veins.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;I sometimes wonder if it will ever be,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;the day that someone could genuinely love, need, and ache for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;My heart yearns for the feeling of true nurturing love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;Why can&#39;t I be lifted and taken away from this emptiness by the good&amp;nbsp;lord up above?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;My beliefs in happiness have become so numb, I sometimes wish my time would just finally come!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;As I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to sweep, the damaging debris from my heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;For they&amp;nbsp;have torn any&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;faith in &lt;/span&gt;true love for me completely apart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;The moment that I let the slightest feeling of love seep in, that&#39;s when the poisonous effects will begin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;Mirroring the fortune of prohibited natural sin, I&amp;nbsp;effortlessly withdraw&amp;nbsp;rather than let love have any chance at a victorious win.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;As the poison begins traveling through my veins, the love I feel in no way can over power the venom&#39;s excruciating pain!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;While unable to cease the&amp;nbsp;toxins overwhelming strain, I&amp;nbsp;grievously give into my hearts damaging vain,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;as I bid fairwell to love, yet...&amp;nbsp;once again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;span&gt;The bitter creation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&quot;Where has my motivation gone?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;I will not allow it to deprive me for too long..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;I sometimes question the reason for my existence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Natural needs of support only strengthen her condemn-ment, &amp;amp; her resistance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;The cold feeling of loneliness, as my heart continues its confusion &amp;amp; ail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Will her perceptions of me always be hateful, bitter &amp;amp; stale?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Dwelling in the nightmare of a pest without a haven..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;What have I done to create this abomination?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Do I really have to continue as the scorned, &amp;amp; condemned creation?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Since I can last remember, I have been nothing more than an allergic, unwanted member.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;The slightest desire of love, or anticipation,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;abides the moment I embrace unwanted, castigated rejection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Alone &amp;amp; empty, I will remain bold, &amp;amp; proceed to my own faithful destination.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;span&gt;How Does The Pain Go Away ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;No matter how hard I try, some days I only wish to demise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;No matter what I say or do, they never seem to hear my cries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Never bother to look, or even ask why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Why do you look so hallow, empty, forlorn, and so dry?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;I walk this earth like a translucent ghostly figure that only the good natured can see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;I sometimes wonder if they would even care if tragedy is what became of me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Sadly, at times, there are no means that can lift me up, &amp;amp; help my spirit shine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;What will it take to find warmth in this freezing, cold, disintegrated heart of mine?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Alone, &amp;amp; bruised I will again find my inner warrior, &amp;amp; honor its faithful shrine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;For my actions were far worse than the stumbles of an arrogant drunken clown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;How my heart aches to affirm that the negligent behaviors portrayed are not customarily that of mine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Grievously, I am aware of the delusive desire to turn back the hands of time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;So agonizing, survives the puncture that I have brought into my own existence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;The vision of his heavenly&quot; all &quot; painfully compels the banishment of his beautiful essence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;With nothing more than a chivalrous death to look forward to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Love, affection, or nurturing thoughts were not something these brave warriors were accustomed to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Constantly obligated and forced to stay strong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Any comfort or true happiness could not last for too long&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Although holding a cherished loved one in their arms again was never a certainty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Brave and fearless they fought, these soldiers of the ancient centuries!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Resembling the sadly written archives of The Carmina Burana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A knight&#39;s only comfort was to die with complete honor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;As they fought with unmeasurable bravery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Their motivation was only driven by the belief&amp;nbsp;in achieving a great victory!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;When does it end? This path I call wrath, for it is a journey filled with pain, anquish and sorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;I sometimes ask myself, &quot;is life worth living?, Should I just end my tomorrow?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;As I walk this path I call wrath, I seem to see so many rivers of tears, and wonder if they will ever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;disappear through the years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;Every year that passes me by, as I walk a new valley, I see black roses that seem to shrivel into ashes as I pass them by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;There is constantly darkness that surrounds me, and I ask myself &quot;why?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;Why does my soul continue to hurt and to cry?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;As I walk this path I call wrath, these rivers of tears seem to be the most dreadful of all,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;for these rivers are the only, that can truly make fall!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;Every breath that I take is a second closer to loss, I then think &quot;when again will this dreadful river of tears need to be crossed?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;I dread them so dear, for they have filled my heart soley&amp;nbsp;with emptiness, blackness, and fear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;They have damaged my soul, and competence to withhold any happiness, and only to draw tears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;I have lost the ability to trust, and any happiness I seem to establish only turns into&amp;nbsp;to dust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;When does it end? This path I call wrath? A journey that continues to make me dread what withholds me tomorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;God willing, with all the faith I can possibly borrow, maybe one day my heart will no longer be hollow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
