Human Bleed

I do bleed 
                                                        from this human flesh
                                                         toil and exhausted
                                                        From a bully's knife upon me
                                                      
                                              It was the unkindest cut,but was it truly warranted?
                                             Severing the connection to a properous vessel
                                             Lying on the Earth's bed with a dying look in these eyes

                                                     No one told me that Living would be Kind
                                                    Children would spit at me and laugh
                                                    at my childish mind
                                                
                                             And so I type down these painful phrases
                                            Continue to wander through challenging mazes
                                            I cannot sip from God's cup of Wine
                                            His salvation is yours but is not truly mine

                                                  My foe is a million smiles of the Rich
                                                 Taunting because I do not fit into their niche
                                                 This open wound upon a tiring finger
                                               Speaks plenty of the Pain and cruelty which linger

                                                     Condemnation because I am poor
                                                     Feeling beauty but yet you ignore
                                                      Poets except for me indeed
                                                     to live forever without this Human Bleed
