Devastation Strikes

The problems are blowing,

The tears are flowing,

And no one is there to save you.

You can try to hide,

But you can only abide,

This never ending pain.

As life goes on the difficulties proceed,

You can try to succeed,

But in the end you can only be,

The person you've always been.

With these restraining limitations,

Blocking all of your innovations,

Forcing you to be another one of their clones.

You try to scream,

But they always say they're on your team;

Backstabbers you know they shall be.

Feeling your energy draining from your very soul,

Exhausted from the endless toll,

You forget what you stand for,

And accompany their demeaning ways.
