Individual

By nesbia

I am an individual
I am not another face in the crowd
I will not be pushed aside
Or swept under the rug
I have thoughts and good ideas
and they will be heard
Because you will listen

I'm the voice of a generation
The generation of pain and anguish
Can you put me out of your mind?
You can't
I'm in the face of everyone
If you listen hard enough
You can haer their heart's cry my words
I cannot be ignored

I'm everywhere
I'm in the person sitting next to you
I creep into your housse your life
Infest your children, nest
I breed in their minds
Wispering words of sweet divine
Tempting them to my side
The dark side

Face it
I'm here to stay
My ideas are not new
They have been around for centuries
And will be for many more

I live in a land
Where everything you fear has come out to play
I'm living your mortal nightmare
Images in my head you can't dream of
Monsters screaming

I am Life hope fear death
I am incapable of love and feeling
I am everything you hope never to be
I am everything you fear
I am...
Me
