1. Original Sin
by Jessica Marie Williams
Never ending is this sharp pain
With all to lose and nothing to gain
Looking at me, I'm anything but plain
For in this mind nothing is sain
Chaos thrives within my very soul
Creating mayhem is it's only goal
Darkness burrows inside like a mole
Making every hope fall into it's hole
Instantly choking smothering the light
Within the coils, holding me so tight
Suffocating my dreams, knowing no right
Gives me reason to only scream and fight
Gaining the upper hand thinking I may win
To find that betrayal has broken me again
Pausing only to mend the scars deep within
Then going on to live my life with
Original Sin
