Hope by Another Name

Damp windowsill

No rain falling outside

Messages still to be sent

Glancing past my foresight

Vibrating room with screams

Feeling my knees crash in

Hereditary influence

Hope by another name

You got scared

The world moved out of hand

Learning sometimes

It hurts more to comprehend

I had no heart to say it was an easy feat

Though life kicks back, death has no beat
