planet earth

By raspberry89

i look up to a black universe 
then down at dirty bare feet 
there must be nothing worse 
than feelin the darkness inside of me 
i didn't think much of it at first 
but I soon was thinkin constantly 
cause the sun shines down on earth 
and I am too blinded to even see 
my entire beings immersed 
in shadows of some fantasy 
so with the emptiness I converse 
and in my pain i conceive 
and in this pain i give birth 
to all i know and believe 
like how each grain of sand and dirt 
is also in me-when i sweat or bleed  
there's no quenching my thirst 
i have just enough of what l need 
and no more-poverty in the multiverse 
is strange as dark dawns-as bittersweet 
as my struggle, my heavens curse 
incarnations are facades of mortality 
and whats real will never die or disperse 
but i'm clearly in the wrong galaxy
