Jumbled Voices, Helpless Thoughts
Wasted freedom
adjourned by the
linguistically-challenged
society.
A wreckage in my brain
driving me to the point
of insanity,
manicuring each
segment to be
mildly better than the rest.
Perfection is such a lie,
she's too fat,
she's too skinny,
will we ever be enough
to ever find our soul..
to find our humanity?
Oh,
but the stars say different,
they make us feel like
we belong with them..
searching for answers
within reach of the galaxy.
Facing each milestone
with a headache,
screaming loud so the
trumpets in my brain
will stop blasting
such tone-deaf noise.
And the people make-believing
that nature is beautiful..
what is so attractive about cancer?
What is so gorgeous about
a little girl dying?
Negativity rots my ego,
a self-hating manuscript
bares itself in front of my vision.
I say nothing because
anxiety is the only thing
that holds my every thought.
I'm angry at my rage.
I'm scared of my fear.
And I'm depressed at my sadness.
Society made me.
I have nothing left to give.

What do you mean you have nothing left to give? Society might have made you by its influences, but this is your life...go ahead and live:)!!! The past we can't change, but the future we can rearrange by morphing ourselves into the future we hope to see. I think you have a lot to give just like you gave this poem for all eyes to see. You have a gift inside you that you're allowing society to hold back from flourishing into something beautiful. God bless you and keep writing on my friend:)!!!
