A poem that I wrote a long time ago.
Around my feet
As we grab our ankles
And begin to squeeze
The pain gets worse
As we walk on rocks
Broken glass
And metal locks
I think this is the way
We all will die
As we keep on living
Our dreadful lives
We don’t know it now
But as soon as we do
Our lives will change
Along with me and you
I love the way it works
And the way it goes
And the way it develops
And the way it shows
Do you see me
Or walk on by
As I stop and turn
To say a simple hi
People will do this
And take it for shame
Because everyone around us
Is considered lame
Political terms
Of lies and fakes
Is putting our world
On its stakes
Open your eyes
And you will see
That everyone around you
Will still bleed
What you do
And how you do it
Affects the people
That go through it
So keep on walking
When that person says hi
And see how soon
You really will die
People run
People cry
People live
People lie
We all do it
We are all ashamed
But God wont turn on us
With our name
Keep calling him stupid
Keep calling me dumb
As soon as I get to
I will make you numb
Ill take your eyes
So you cant see
Who I am
And what I’ll be
Ill take your skin
So you cant feel
So you wont know
What isn’t real
Ill take your mouth
So you cant speak
Those evil words
You say to me
And when I do
Take these things
I pray that you
Are left with rings
Of blood and nails
Like God did hurt
When we decided
That he was dirt
What we do
Is exactly this
With every word
And every kiss
We call you names
Judge by race
Hate by fate
Love by face
Looks are true
And so is love
So look beyond
And above
Our eyes may see
The world before
I see you
And that’s what I adore
Behind the skin
I still miss
Behind your touch
Behind your kiss
We fear of death
And living again
But if we don’t die
Wouldn’t that be a sin?
I would think so
And so should you
When we decide
To face the truth
We go by lies
And behind our eyes
Is the true meaning
That makes us cry
When we cry
Its not what we miss
Its not what we want
Its something we did
So look around you
And be alert
Of all the people
Everyday we hurt
We don’t know it now
We will really soon
Its in our blood
And its in our womb
So when that person
Comes in your life
That you think you love
And you think you will die
That person who puts
That feeling in you
You cry in there face
And still be okay too
Take them by the hand
And show them around
Your life
You love
And even your hometown
Love them like never before
Kiss them without a sound
Make love anywhere
Even on the ground
Feel the earth arise
As you look
In their eyes
You know you have made the right decision
So know you can go on living
But if someone was to stop once and tell you hi
You better remember to say it back
Everyday of your life
Cause you never know
When you could
Be hit by a car
Or killed in the woods
Raped to death
Then slaughtered to bleed
Doing drugs
Like pot and weed
That day will come
That you might be
In the hospital
Not on the street
you’ll die in your sleep
If you finally care
About the world before us
And the love we share
We are all the same people
So why be ashamed
Of our love and hope
And damn even our name?
Its sad to hear
Those words spoken
When you know someone’s heart
Is being broken
Lets just give it a rest
And live in least
So now maybe
We can live in world peace!
