It's chaos
As we pray on
Perpetual war
What is all this for?
I must implore
Fighting to survive
We’ve all been deprived
This is how we’ve lived
Behind false screens
This is how we thrived
During unparalleled dreams
Struggling and juggling
To make ends meet
We find ways to lie and cheat
Woe is us
Woe is me
We’re so divided
Can’t you see?
Feigning smiles
While spewing hate
We are the fuel
That sets the world ablaze
Then doust it out
And continue the craze
Days like this
I start to wonder
All of life’s
Greatest blunders
Who are you
That makes you, you
Who am I…
I’m still trying to find
Aspirations to do good
Still, I feel misunderstood
My youth escapes me
As I try to flee
To a world
With a cure
To the sickness
With breathe
I’m lost in my fear
Spiraling from
Every critical tear
If you looked much closer
Then you could see
Were not so different
You and me
Ignorance runs wild
In the eyes of a child
Laughing loud laugh
Smiling wide smiles
If only adults weren’t full
With such wrath
But alas I digress
After much distress
To change for the better
I’ll be a trendsetter
To inspire the minds
For the thousands in line
To distinguish the flame
That shelters the shame
That we buried deep within
In order to win
I’ll continue to fail
But I’ll always prevail
And although I’m lost
I know the cost
To do nothing at all
Except sit and bawl
Is a crime in itself
Placed on oneself
So I’ll take the next step
And I’ll make sure I prep
Till the chaos
With live in
Is no longer a threat.
