Society Kills
Now do you see how it feels?
To be hurt, on a daily basis
Because you said you would do something
Then you went back on your word.
Now I see why everyone says you’re a liar.
You’ve never spoken the truth a day in your life.
I can’t lie but you can?
Where’s the justice in that?!
It makes no sense
To be trapped in a box
By a person who’s supposed to care for you
He sat in his room
Dangerous thoughts
Swirling through his head
Thoughts of deathbeds
Thoughts of those who torment him just falling and not getting up
Soon
Yells
Shouts
Glass breaking
Screams
Doors slamming and a car driving down the street.
He looks out the window and sees his fathers car drive away for the third time that week
How can you say you’ll be there when all you do is leave?
It makes no sense
To have to take care of your family
Because someone refuses to take up the job
She walks down the halls
Her mind screaming
Insult after insult
Until she finally gives in
As she walks down the road
Whispers seem to follow
Worthless
Stupid
Ugly
Fat
Society had it’s affect on her
Now it just had to wait
Wait until another child binged
Wait until another child attempted suicide
Wait until another child was diagnosed with anorexia
Wait until another child took their comfort in the cold metal
Then
It would say
“Oh! He was so nice, he didn’t deserve to die…”
“Oh! She was so pretty, she was so nice, I wish she didn’t…”
“Why would he do this? Everyone loved him!”
“She didn’t realize how much everyone loved her…”
Society kills
Even when we don’t realize it
Even when we see past the lies and try to cope with them
Even if the truth hurts
Society kills
Then acts as if it’s the victim
Society is the seriel killer
The one that needs to be apprehended
The one that needs to be sent to different life sentences.
One for each victim.
Society is the true killer
Society is the voice in the back of our minds
Telling us that we’re not good enough
Telling us that we’re not smart enough
Telling us that nobody will love us
Society created the image
Society will be the death of mankind
It takes one block to make the whole tower fall
Yet
What happens when there is only one block left?
The last one standing
The winner
Who will win this battle?
The world may never know…
