Wasted Dignity
At what price pain?For what reason must it exist?
It does nothing for the general
morale of humanity, nor does it
prove any points aside from the
suicide, homicide, and genocide
that arise in it's wake.
_______
Patterns form and fall away
behind eyes closed tight in the dark.
Friends and lovers are washed away
and have done more than left their mark.
At some point in in our lives we realize
that time is a ghost to us all,
making us feel like we've nothing left inside
and smacking our ass when we fall.
_______
Form in your mind a picture of
what you want your life to be.
Write, draw, or speak it,
just as long as the world can see
that in each of us there is a prisoner
with a longing to be free.
So if we take the time to search,
then all will soon agree.
