Hellevator


By: Hannah Zhang

My life’s at rock bottom

I hold out my hand

Hoping someone will hold it

But no one does

They press a few buttons

And ride up

Surfing on my blood

Sitting on my heartbeat

As you would on a throne

And blowing my soul away

If only I had a diamond heart

If only I had their strength

I wouldn’t be here now

Cast in shadows

While they shine

I cast my dreams aside

So I could ride up with them

But instead

I’m stuck on a Hellevator

Hoping it will rain

So no one can see me cry
