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
