Closer to Hell...

(So sorry but I can't seem to think of a proper title. I would appreciate any suggestions...)

She looks forward with broken eyes
Said she’d one day touch the skies
Tears of mirth replaced by tears of regret
Everything that made her happy now only makes her upset
Innocents taken; she wasn’t really that young
Realities shaken; to her fantasy world she clung
Looking from the doors of limitless choices
She got strangled by all the different voices
Held out her hand to find her sanity
Didn’t really understand the limits of humanity
What’s done is done isn’t that the truth
We really aren’t that young in our youth
Unlucky breaks, unlucky stars
Fell somewhere between Pluto and Mars
Imagination boundless and free
Now she wishes that she couldn’t see
Paint brushes and canvases are now askew
Her painting’s once bright are now dull and blue
Believed the world was all rainbows and pots of gold
Didn’t know all the devil ever want's in return is a soul
Closing the door to her life before
The girl she once was is now no more

She said she one day touch the skies...

I relate to this poem on a personal level. Thank you for posting it.

As for the title, I am not sure, but believe it should come from the author.

"Melvin, the best thing you got going for you is your willingness to humiliate yourself."

Thank you both for commenting!
(I'm happy you liked Lady!)
I'm still trying to figure out a title (It has yet to come to me) But I'll be working on it!

Hugs and Hershey bars to all!
