Look at you
So young
So lost
A compass without direction
You do not yet know the cost
You smooth your hair
You stand real tall
Already knowing that you are small
Do you know my story? Do you know my pain? Can you even say you know my name? Do you know my goals? Do you know my fears? Do you know that your words bring me to tears?Do you know it hurts, when you say these things?
Who is to say what a win or a loss is?
I believe the magnitude of the win should be measured like beauty
Only in the eye of the beholder, should it be judged.
Individuality is a rarity
We live in a world of carbon copies
Of mass productions
A world where uniqueness is taken for granted
And similiraty is highly evident
When I look around
I see conformity.
We try to be the same
to maintain
a sense of normalcy
but it just constricts
our voices.
The world is closing in
around us,
if you never stop questioning what you're toldwhat you're shownwhat you're guaranteedwhat you're spoon-fed by the hand ofstingyswinishshrewd and slybusinessmenwell that's half the battle.
The reason is simple.
It’s not black and white.
My pen is drawn to paper with ease
For once, my mind is free.
Words flow to and fro.
I write for emotion.
My feelings run with every thought.
Words that are for the wisdom we choose to seek
Predators circle its prey until its last breath
Dictators watch as it its it solemn flesh
Stuck in one’s mind of the already decided
