Quit Or Keep Going

They say I’m not sick They say being molested and raped is okay You’ll get better But it happens everywhere The television hides so much I can’t stand the judge making fun of those With mental disorders and We use useless hobbies as a way to cope With pain We use sadness and silence To sleep thru the cold We use the knowledge no one uses anymore I stand alone With millions of things that are left untold Karma is an elevator and we’re not on it The flowers you cut for decorations Have become black ashes Like a man wrapped in bombs With not everlasting paradise A family living under pressure An choose lying and oppression Adults lie to children Why do they question who knew first Why is the government ran by people that act like president Suicides they’re number one motive Assasination at its lowest Sicknesses after sicknesses Bodies burn and nightmares occur while your awake You won’t get any sleep Watch how you treat the poor because they’re rich from heart like blood that can be used as ink for art An tears that drop endlessly Where’s the calmness and where is the freedom It’s only in the dark where I hear bombs go off an earthquake that don’t gotta stop
