Backlash

Mon, 11/11/2019 - 17:41 -- K4Z

You know? I'm tired of lighting the world with tiny glowing screens.

I'm tired of fake men, women, and all those inbetween who don't know how to turn on

Goddamned light but have the audacity to complain about the dark.

Like, what do you want? Make up your mind. If you want help, get it. 

If you don't, don't even start.

 

I'm Fucking Frustrated And You're The One Who Caused It. 

Don't tell me to calm down when your the one who starts shit. 

Fucking counterfeight hypocrite. Bit by bit I'll make my way

out this pit, this moonlit slump telling me to quit and submit. 

 

I'M TIRED OF BEING PASSIVE. Passing and lacking 

acting lasting nothing but days at a time, trashing a nervous system 

that I can't even call mine. 

"I'm Fine" 

Are you? Are you really?

Go ahead, tell me again, I can do this shit ALL day,

 

Put Up Your Facade, Spray your venom and pay respects to some God.

Tell Me I'm Wrong! Prolong some inevitable death, Write your song. pray for piece of mind

because at the end of the day I'm sure that's where you belong. Well So Long.

I'm still here standing strong.

 

I'm fucking done. You can't tell me I haven't won. 

 

This is my life. Let me live it.

Nothing more to be said.

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world

I'm tired of the bullshit human beings are spreading these days, 

and I'll spread my word until the day I can wake up and say

"I'm happy to be alive in this world."

Because I'm not happy. This world is one big What if and I'm fucking done.

I will live my life apologetically no more.

Let's all stand the fuck up. Let's walk through the streets with our hands up.

Let's do as we please without saying sorry. Let's be us.

I love you all. Thank you again for every read, 

I hate to say it, but as long as this world stays fucked, you can expect more soon.

So let's all rise up.
