The Same Beginning

This is what’s left when one time isn’t enough.
When one time wasn’t what did it.
It’s the same beginning to the same end.
The same road 
To the same home 
Where no one wants to live.
You take and you swear and you hurt 
And you give it no thought before you start again.
The same exact pain dished
To the same exact heart 
​Who can’t speak up enough to change their world.
