The truth about life

By maxstrife

I know the truth about life
There is ugliness
There is pain
There is disdain
It will drive you insane

We will never be good enough
We will always let someone down
It will be because of us that someone will frown
It will be because of us that this planet will die
Yet we all look up and wait for a sign from the one above

We look to the sky to search for hope from the one above
We look to the sky to search for love from the one above
We are down on our knees begging please
Give us beauty
Take our pain
end our disdain
and make us sane

We look to the sky
Yet we cannot see
How we are blind
How we spread misery

We kill for land
we take
We steal
We have blood on our hands
yet no one understands

We cannot see
The pain
The heartache
the misery


None of us will escape unscathed
none of us will be saved
we will bleed
We will cry
We will die.

This is our hell
This is our life
none of us will survive
Life.

Author's Note:

what inspired this poem can't really say was just listening to feel so close, and i thought about humanity and how we all put our hopes on a fictional character and we cannot see what we are truly doing to each other or the earth
