Trying Times

Inside, alone I hide
Too much stress from the world outside
I tried
But I refuse to co-exist in a world of hate harm and violence
Among deceitful lies
Where no one tries, and no one cares who lives or dies
Self absorbed, ignore the cries with much despise
Open your eyes and ears and hear
I wish I could heal the world’s hurts, a curse
This land so far off continues to get worse
So many hunger, so many thirst
Hurting, cursing, needing nursing
Trying times, ruthless crimes
It’s hard to discuss
I look to the world with disgust and so much distrust
Can I just see peace?
Can I trust police and walk these streets with ease free from fear
No more tears, no more fears, lost for years
Hearts of stone, united for nothing, we stand alone, we’re on our own
Free for all, one by one we slowly fall
I think its time we take a stand, so up I stand to lend a hand
But still
No emphasizing, crime rising at an alarming rate
Criticism and constant hate cause you can’t relate
Sad to say we hold the world’s fate
So bland, poor world, poor land
Suffering at the hands of those who hate and kill
If we don’t force a change who will?
Brother against brother, do you expect me to sit back and watch these people
destroy each other?
Stand back in defeat and let them destroy this world of deceit they created
along with them?
Complete mayhem.
At a loss I look for time to breathe
I grieve, I hate this place I want to leave
I want out, unable to escape, trapped inside this world of sin
Forever fighting, trying, though we know we’ll never win
It’s just the way it is, the way it’s always been
But until I die, I shall give it everything, I shall always try
So many suffer, so many cry
Not a moment goes by when I don’t want to say screw it goodbye,
To this hurtful world we all call home
I’ve always wondered who really gave a damn about a stupid poem
Why should I Continue?
Although I know patience is a virtue
Rest in me you know ill never hurt you
Together patiently waiting for a change
It’s strange
But we hold on knowing things may never change
