Human

Feelings of Joy and gladness Soon replaced with such sadness Overcome by the emotions of one Who is locked inside, hidden from the sun The weeping and grinding of teeth Aren't disturbed by the disbelief Of these waves that dance to the song Sung by a girl long since gone Gifts given in a spirit of mirth The value of friends measures your worth And the pieces of life you choose to share Are not the best, just those you could spare Our decisions are our own To be together or to be all alone A loneliness that creeps inside An emptiness that screams run and hide Pieces of human intuition Abundantly guided by indecision Lead us on a path of defeat Creatures of habit, we are bound to repeat Stabbing ourselves with senseless things Makes way for others to live as kings While our lives spin helpless out of control We sell our soul in part or in whole I don't believe in the things you say Losing your sanity Oh the humanity you betray You can't believe in the things I say Lost your reality Oh the brutality you give away

You had some interesting thoughts in this piece; however, I think the persistent cliche rhymes took away from its effect. "Creatures of habit, we are bound to repeat Stabbing ourselves with senseless things" That was a very powerful line. Keep it up!
