Grief Is Alive

entry picture

I am shouting at the sky
Screaming at the stars
Angry with the planet 
That has left me with scars
I am climbing the walls
And kicking down doors
Looking for an answer
To fight my lost cause 

Grief is alive 
It cuts you up like a knife
Grief is alive 
Nothing but trouble and strife 
Grief is alive
It takes over your soul
Grief is alive
It eats you up whole
Grief is alive

What is meaning of life 
Jesus is the answer they say
You are having a big laugh
Enjoy yourself and live for today
The meek shall inherit the earth
Your planet you can stick
You can keep your rancid humanity
You are deluded and make me sick

I am shouting at the sky
Screaming at the stars
But it doesn't ease my pain
There may as well be life on mars
One day at a goddamn time
I smile like a circus clown
Step by painful step I soldier on
Grief is burden that drags you  down

Grief is alive 
It cuts you up like a knife
Grief is alive 
Nothing but trouble and strife 
Grief is alive
It takes over your soul
Grief is alive
It eats you up whole
Grief is alive

Your words are so expressive and felt. I do not want to add to the complexity of your grief by saying something stupid and meaningless. Just know your words are moving. Thank you for sharing.
