Poem Title:
Poem
My heart is broken. I am a miserable, lost soul swimming in a world of darkness; trying to find a piece of myself that has been torn away from me. I am blinded by emotions. Unable to regain control of the irrational fantasy world I have built for myself in order to escape a harsh, ironic, and bitter -sweet reality that the rest of you call life. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees. I am a shell that was once truly alive. I have been left empty. Taken out like trash on a Thursday night. I was once a person, but I have been destroyed by this cruel thing that is called life. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees. I have fallen victim to the cruelty of the human race. I am ashamed by myself, but more so by others. The truth is much too vicious and vulgar to accept it as what it really is; A part of this thing you call life. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees. It is said that ignorance is bliss. That explains why the rest of you walk around thinking you are happy. You are blind to the severity of the truth that surrounds you. I am not the only one who had created a fantasy world for myself. The rest of you are just too caught up in your worlds to even realize that another world exists; The real world. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees. Your “God” is nothing more than an illusion; Created by the twisted minds that came before us as an arrogant joke. Used for the soul purpose of making you feel better about yourselves and to repent for your so-called “sins”. Just another part of this thing you call life. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees. I’d rather walk around for the rest of my life thinking I know the truth, when in all actuality there is no such thing. It is but a figment of my imagination. A part of my fantasy world. And this thing that I call truth is extremely different than the thing that you assume is the truth in this thing you call life. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees. There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I am unable to figure out which one of these applies to me. Maybe both; maybe neither. As I said before, ignorance is bliss; and you all couldn’t be happier. I’d rather die on my feet than live life on my knees.
