Literature Text

There's always been a constant fight
Between right and wrong
And you stand up on your pedestal
Throwing in your two cents
While the rest of us lowly beings on the ground
Grow quiet and bow our heads

You take it as an agreement
And stand a little taller
Smile a litter bigger
Pretend you're a little better
Than the rest of us here

You flaunt yourself like a prize possession
And act like you're the greatest being
That has ever graced our presence
"Beauty," you say, with a coy smile
"Is something worth fighting for;
And I'll tell you when you get there,"
How pathetic of us to listen.

We can't always decide if you are a monster or
Pure mayhem, but we know you're not a hero
Like you pretend to be

And when we mess up
When we prove we are human
You stand there judging us

We bleed with each word
And you just don't care
You don't give up,
You never back down,
Always a constant force in our lives
In our world and we can do nothing
To save ourselves
We can do nothing to break free
We just accept the blows as they come
And act like the hurt goes away
But it won't and eventually all that's left
Is determination coming from the tears in our
Eyes and our ragged breaths escaping from our lips
As we try to find the words to make it better

And suddenly we hear you speak
Quiet, whispering, just a hint of the wind
Saying things to make this alright, things that
May help you sleep at night
And finally you find just the right words and
Step back, just a bit, giving us a break
From your damned torture

So we are left crawling back
Into the dark corners of our souls
The places that you deny existence

We bury ourselves in the crevices
And hide from the rain
As you smile into the sun
Blinding yourself from the horrors of the world
The horrors you created
Long time no poem.
