Believe in the good of people (that all people are inherently good) but trust no one.

My life,
My friends,
My family,
All gone in the blink of an eye.

Must it be this way?
Does it have to end?
Has my time come?

I wonder,
I ponder,
I question,
Wasting what time I have left
In this world.

I used to be so happy,
So carefree,
But now it's all gone,
All gone in the blink of an eye.

Reality is catching up to me,
And I am losing all my innocence.
It's all gone,
All gone in the blink of an eye.
