Life Book of Youth

What lies in wait in a young person’s soul?
To create a world so dark and so cold
Lessons from the life book of youth
Teaching lies and blindfolding truth

Searching for ways to stray from the fold
Rejecting their youth, disrespecting the old
Anger and hate spews from the tongue
Sisters and brothers grabbing a gun

Slicing and dicing blood running red
Nightmares are real, wishing for dead
Invisible parents hiding from blame
Shinny new blade to cut out the pain

Drugging it up to hide all the hurt
Running from clean, diving for dirt
Line by line, flame by flame
Six feet under is fifteen of fame

Looking for sex behind the closed door
Mouse click away to the world of hardcore
Staring at pictures and three minute clips
Worldly pleasures at finger tips

Exposing themselves in the name of cool
Young and old men wiping the drool
Looks for attention in the way they are shaped
Leads to false promises and possible rape

A cry for attention, a cry for a prayer
No one is listening or shows that they care
No use pretending or hiding from truth
Table of contents, the life book of youth
