Dark World

My dark skin stings as cold tears trickle down my frowning face Anger and sadness has built up within me, squeezing my organs I quietly sniffle trying to figure out what is wrong Why are tears pouring down my face uncontrollably? Like a waterfall of somber wetness I don’t know why I’m upset I fear not knowing what I am fearing The world has become an utter blur All that I ponder is the evil and horrid occurrences: Racism, discrimination, murder, bullying, suicide It’s hard to walk upon earth with knowledge of savagery We are all monsters Some just appear nicer than others Within a smile lies one’s inner, true self Within, I lay a mask to disguise my internal grief In reality, the world is a dark, sorrowful place Lying between the depths of fiery hell and the skies of glorious Heaven Trapped by inevitable sin encompassing it I swallow a distasteful gulp As my thoughts scramble and jumble A whirling wind of confusion and frustration taunts me God, please give me an answer What is the answer to life? To living? To existing? Why do I not comprehend these feelings of madness? Not insanity, but anger, anguish, sorrow All I hope, all I can pray for is Dear Lord, please oh please make it a better tomorrow.
