My sin was not specifically this or that but consisted of having shaken hands with the devil... The devil held me in his clutches, the enemy was behind me

Crying, I am dying, sighing at life
Spiders crawling up my spine, I’m fading
my bony fingers, downgraded from strife
Hunger is flooding my world, I’m starving

Starving for food, and starving for some love
My stomach bellowed for mercy loudly
I looked down on earth, staring from above
My empty soul passed others longingly

Up here in heaven, where stars are glowing
I look down on earth filled with misery
I glance at my comrades, they are smiling
No trace of pain, sorrow, or witchery

And in these ethereal dreams I smile
Because this happiness can last a while

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
