If Only

If only she knew, as the sun stood ablaze,
The world she knew would disappear in the haze.
How long would she dream of water and land?
How long would she hope for an azure hand?

If only she knew of the dangers in toll,
And colors of freedom would become quite dull.
The bees on flowers and birds in the skies
Could never care if someone dies. 

If only she saw what was to come
To those whose hearts beat like a drum.
Young worlds soon will become anew
To the life and pain that others withdrew.

If only I could see the change,
To reach outside my rotting cage.
My world is me; I admit,
But I wish my life would soon submit.

    It often starts with an innocent mind,
    Where I’m happy and living free,

    Horns

    My horns protrude out of my skull
    A constant reminder of who I am. 
    No matter how sharp, I file and dull
    For those to see and give a damn.

    Along the road of waning light
    Shadows come in to bite me whole
