Gregory Bryant Poem
I’d like to have a future, but the past is all
I have
The world seems dismal and the apples have
Gone bad
People are all evil pretending to be friends
But they prove to be snakes when they backstab
In the end
So I’m all alone as I will always be
Too weak to overcome my sense of misery
I feel remote from all of humanity
They pulled away every time I tried to reach
The magic is all gone as well as the
Curiosity
All the beautiful things in life are replaced
By atrocities
Happiness is an illusion, a demon that likes
To tease
Despair and stagnation are the only things
I see
I had hoped for love, but bitterness was
All I found
Then I realized superficiality was all around
There are no happy endings, just ways to
Patch up a wound
But the infection is already spreading and
Decay will set in soon
So I’m all alone as I will always be
Too weak to overcome my sense of misery
There is no haven, no place of sanctuary
I am caught in the damnation of humanity

Gregory Bryant Poem
Alone and selfish, I seek my own gratification
The memories fail to sustain me
Alone and selfish, I forfeit my salvation
Because sinning is the only way I can keep sane
Tomorrow I’ll wake up and aspire to be nothing
Because I begin to question my beliefs
Tomorrow I’ll wake up and curse life
Because of my own grief
Every day I will live death and grit my teeth
Until they shatter
Every day I will fake life as if it truly
Matters
I don’t want to be alone or selfish, but giving a
Damn is futility
I know I can respond to stimulation, but it would
Be a waste of ability
I’m not entertained by the devil I used to
Be
I’m tired of the mirror reflecting hypocrisy
My eyes start to burn like a hill of fire
Ants
I wish to reach my potential but I never
Will advance
Everything that is essential I seem to miss
And I always fail to work my way up to happiness
I say forget it, it’s better to be at the bottom
Than fall
Instead of falling from grace I’d rather start out
With “them” appalled
I say forget it, no one appreciates my efforts
At all
I say forget it, I’ll just be the loser by default
Alone and selfish I seek my own gratification
My memories fail to sustain me
Alone and selfish, I forfeit my salvation
Because sinning is the only way I can keep sane
