Z. Akuhai Poet Rhyme

Revolution

I should have listened when they said:
"Don't grow up, you'll wake up dead."
Now here I am, left behind 
Reality is not one in which you can confide

Spread the word, youth is a trap! 
I've given up now, my days are dark; 
One more day, I just might snap
It's always been sanity that I lack

My heart hates me
The pain is real
At night I scream
But no one can make it heal.

My sleeves will hide the red that runs 
All the games are no more fun
The difference in a marker and blade
It's not a joke, but it relieves the pain.

Suicide, it's a crime
We are owned, nationwide
If not for the governments eye
"Revolution, it's what we dream of' we sigh

Kids in the dark, all with their own hell
They create the lies, so no one can tell
Let the young believe
Leave the dead to rest in peace
Today, things change
Why do we stand here, out of the way?

The lying veins, 
And dying heart
You can't save me now,
I've already fallen apart.

So next time, in the halls
Hold up the one, who is about to fall
They'll say they are "okay"
It wont be the only lie told that day

So here we stand, awaiting the fray
Just one time, let us stand and say:
"This is wrong, and we do not agree!"
Just one time, please

All the eyes, searching for the mistakes
Every. Single. Day.
Music can not change the brain,
But it does make the heart sway

And so this eye, watching all the time
Falls up on you and your troubled soul
Will you stand and fight for your life,
Or will you collapse, and let the depths of hell descend?
