Yesterday's Today

freedom was never something

I deserved,

nor was it a right

in my native lands.

the fire that once burned through

smoky green eyes,

has been extinguished, 

and the host, gutted.

see, I go through all the motions of life

and have seen things you cannot fathom,

and I never though for a moment

I could get this numb.

my happiness I kill,

you've done this to yourself,

and we've died already.
