Sweet Dreams

No Hope

No Hope

We all walk around,

Heads facing the ground,

Never a stare or passing glance,

Even as through life we dance.

No contact-is it a curse?

I am then captured by the nurse.

A shocking truth is what we learn.

Now in mind, who do we turn?

I fight and I scream,

Facing the horror of my dream!

No, I shout, it mustn't be true!

And then as if one cue,

My body starts to shut down

Half way through town.

Death runs after me,

But the light I cannot see?!

I am going to Hell?

When I ring that final bell?

Nurses chase me, too.

To now, what shall I do?

Death or life?

Am I willing to take the knife?

It's what got me her in the first place.

Coming face-to-face with death,

I take my final breath,

And escape the hospital for the insane

Where my life has always been in pain.
