Alpha&Omega

Life begins...or is it death?  
A child, pure, innocent, destined on a path of pain and suffering...  
It's inevitable, unconditional, but not love - rather hate.  
   
Happiness breeds...
 only to be ripped away by the silent winds of crying...he's trying, but finds himself spiraling downwards,    
deeper and deeper into the bowels of hell which we all call life.  
   
The agony too much, the child has grown, to realize,
it's all been lies, from friend to foe, person to person...he asks himself...  
"why am I alive? WHY AM I ALIVE?  
   
and He collapses....broken...overcome by the forces of evil...  
compelled by the trickery of hope, confined to the shackles of love and care, afraid to hurt even one soul,    
though he has no fear of dying.  
   
So he sits and he waits...and he waits some more...  
for death to come knocking at his door;  
but until then, he survives...  
survives the torture of a living corpse...  
hoping...dreaming...wishing for it all to end...and then ---  
Death begins....or is it Life?
