I Am...

I am shy
Silenced by my
Fear
Of judgment
With only my thoughts
And those thoughts have
Great potential
But they never
Escape the
Prison
Never break through the wall
Already in two pieces
 
I am apathetic
Knowing genocide goes
Ignored
Seeing society
Kill for greed
Rather than people
And me not knowing how to
Cure the world of its
Poison
My heart
Empty
For people
Because they bring
Pain to the world
 
I am lost
My life means
Nothing
To the world
And never will
But I still want it
And I will
Stomp
On others to
Preserve it
 
I am selfish
I used to share
But it only made life
Worse
Because I was
The only one
So now I live
Thoughtlessly
 
I am wrong
I  possess many of
Society's faults
And ignore the
Rest
