Devastation is overwhelming
Hunger spreading
Families lost
Diseases gained
Cold nights
Hot days
With no shelter
And much death.
Poverty,
IS the hardest cancer to treat
Existence is bearly there
She is unnoticed
Hand never reaches out
Keeping to herself
Always
Invisible
Intoxication fills your body
Depending on it for happiness
Smoke fills your lungs
Depending on it for happiness
One more sip
One more inhaling of poison
One more pill
One more disappointment
Still depending in it
For happiness

(based on Sofi's speach)

Reminded of bad times
Small secret crimes
Drink away the pain
Trying to kill the shame
Not the problem solver
Pray for the miracle
Pour the cup full
Find this treasure
Drinking or prayer
Where did daddy go?
Closed doors
Paper covered floors
Curtain painted windows
Closed forever
Sun peaks through the cracks
Into this empty room
Empty house
A ray of hope
Of happiness
This happy ending
In this fairytale
With the happy princess
Who found her prince

Mel and Aaron's poem game!

Tear-drops of rain
Melting on a summers day
sun takes away the pain
And you're here with me
It feels so right
Nothing but a soft breeze
Kissing the tips of the trees
Below on the ground
An umbrella lies alone
Walking in soaked clothes
Hand in hand again
