Poem Title:
Poem
Dear friend , The world means nothing. Its set in flames. Even worse we roam with cold hearts trying to look the part, in this guilded age. This is something I wish not to be a part of. I no longer want to be another soul endlessly making contact with sole and pavement. I'm striving for abatement. For meaning I've always looked at dictionaries. For significance we've always looked at actions. So please do take another look and see what this letter is for. Our education is supposed to be priceless, yet we can't afford it. Our outlook on life is supposed to be uplifting , yet our vision is always distorted. Our struggle is supposed to be significant , than why is it our stories won't be recorded? Does this not trouble you my friend? We complain about being second rate citizens yet there are those who don't live but attempt to survive in their homes that are assigned in third world countries since before birth. Where is the justice if the hearts are starting to turn into just ice? Wheres the justice if a benevolent man was robbed of their life? Where's the justice in this non-sense? I can't see it . All I see is us bracing for a cruel consequence. Pardon me if I trouble you with the questions you can't answer. But i've outweighed the pros and the cons of this situation. I no longer wish to to be just another number in this logorithm of lies. I no longer wish to be a variable with no value of his own. I wish to become the variable that comprehends the absolute value of sincerity. Real love is that which shows no fear. Unfortunately I am a coward. I no longer can love a world that is platinum plated and wishes not to remember the warmth of a child's smile. Even the stars wish not to roam on the skies of the falsely lit nights. Even the moon moans because of how far from her we've drifted. Even the willos weep when we no longer wish to see them stand and instead choose them to stand on. I've outweighed the courage and the fear. But what I found frightened me further. What weighed us down the most was indifference. With that discovery I knew what I had to do. I must leave and find somewhere where gravity is no longer so heavy. I know I can't outweigh death for it's a burden that falls on the shoulders of everyone. I'm truly sorry that i'm a selfish coward For I have chosen the coward's end. I wish you goodluck my friend, Sincerely yours, The shadow of men
