In a World of Confrontation
In a World of Confrontation
I have it in mind to kill myself,
I have it in mind to take away
The toy you’ve been abusing
For I’m losing all my faith
In you!
This world,
This utter cataclysmic
Globe of many of my kind,
Why does it seem so
Understated that we
No longer want to live,
Live like animals you’ve
Made from us as bastardised,
You claim a higher ground
That sends your very own –
Like walking zombies with their
Heads down,
I’m crying for all those
People whom you’ve made
Misunderstood,
And my tears are flooding
As I write these words while
The blade rests upon my wrists,
And hope is all but gone in
The sorrow of my heart;
Hope of one day, being granted,
All you have denied.
Why keep a people imprisoned
Without sanctuary?
Why in honesty do you want to
Besiege upon us madness
From the very day we’re born?
What is it that you want?
Do you want we kill each
Other for nothing more than
Sport? Or is it God the possibility
That you don’t exist at all?
I am crying now with sheer and utter
Sorrow and I long to stop
My breathing in a world that
Doesn’t care,
Doesn’t share the cures
For the curses you have made
And I’m looking now upon my children
And I’m wondering will you toy with them
Like you toyed with me,
Will your glee be met
In you as you conjure games
Of hurt for the innocent they are?
All over the world,
There is an uprising of suicide
And that be no exception in
This tired and weary soldier,
For I was just an innocent
Of the politics you breathe!
And I guess there are those whom
Have lost empathy for fellow
Human beings,
But I have a heart of compassion,
And all you want of it,
Is its destruction!

I often feel that with some writing you can spot the genuine sentiment and experience, not with the choice of words but by the way internal rhymes (often subconsciously written) find their way into a piece.
This is a good example of raw emotive writing but equally disturbing on a personal level if you're currently thinking this way. Keep writing what you're feeling Mike. I enjoyed this.
