Dignity
Some have the dignity
To admit that all they have
Is mortality
Others only show
Their corruption
Through drugs
Yet all are the same
In the way
That they
Are ecstatic
Because they have just
Enough endurance to get through
Life
Some cut to find
Harmony but only become
Mindless drifting souls
Slowly dying and turning
Into the forgotten
Others drown themselves
In the notes and melodies
Of music to find peace
But are only criticized
And put down
Yet all are the same
In the way
That they
Change to find
A sense of comfort
WIthin themselves
Some turn to waves
To drown out the shame
And save their virginity
To escape conflict
Others fly kites
Over rainbows thinking
It will keep people from finding
The hate and fear inside
Yet all are the same
In the way
That they
Have anger and depression
Deep within their soul
Those who chose
Not to accept this way
Of life followed
The evil and decided on death
For some death is suicide
For others it's drugs and alcohol
But it's all the same
As it's all about a decision
Of feelings and desperation
Of the heart
