Poem Title:
Poem
Can't seem to get ahead Sometimes I don't want to even get out of my bed. Hard surviving these days Promising to change my ways Slowly making my way from here to there Do I even care I don't even know Where it is I'm supposed to go Which way I should be going No way of knowing There are no signs pointing my way No person that will say That is the way to your tomorrow Their opinion I did not even borrow Searching for this land of no sorrow Always pointing me in the wrong way Sometimes unsure, so in place I stay Trying to rise above the average normalcy That is everywhere I see Whom amongst us are truly free From promises of a better future for all Build that wall Stacking broken words that are bound to fall Just eave me alone My heart's not made of stone Just speak to us clear Don't get us lost in fear I need to be shown My heart is homegrown Clear my way To a better day Clear my path from the confusion Left in a delusion That all of this is okay Are we better off today Have we lost our way. What does that even mean That remains unseen Words meant to confuse Makes it hard to choose What is wrong what is right Lost to the night As our world comes crashing down In hate it seems to drown Their hate pulls into the lead Making the world bleed Lead or get out of the way Who is here to stay Where are we going Is anyone even in the knowing The pressure is growing Step back Hate is on the attack The cork is about to blow I have no wish to see that show Lost our way Are we here to stay Hope not Cause here we may rot To the point of no return Is this the future that we did earn Dim as night This can't be right Is there even a cure For a tomorrow that is so unsure Close my eyes Only time flies Step into the unknown Faith has shown Stand tall Don't become part of the wall Sooner or later it will fall Close your eyes Forget the lies Let your heart lead your way Pride Lied To yourself be true Is the sky really blue Guess that is up to you
