Although everyone says it gets better,
it never does.
And as time passes,
the loss comes and goes.
How do I keep going
with the normality of life?
Do I pretend like nothing happened?
That's just not right.
And as I smile everyday,
through the heartache and pain
I reflect on all the things
I"ll never get to say.
Fateful I'm not,
for God has never listened
and is it wrong to say
that my fury is consistent?
She hurts more than me
She shows it more too
I try to be strong,
One tear is better than two.
Everyone's life seems undisturbed
I'm tired of pretending,
there's no excuses
And life, it just goes on.

In this day and in this hour,
Let us not forget, much less accept!
This groutesque occurence
We somehow forsaw but still allowed.
No tears are enough,
Nor do I know the words,
That calm the souls
Of those who so much lost.
Calm won't be found in words,
For no language has enough
When what truly matters
is how we resist from moving on.
Those in power
They claim to help,
But stepping on eggshells
They always refuse to change.
The silent motions,
Excrutiating to the ear.
And the normality of it all
A reason to fear.
"Of course we care"
"For sure we'll change"
And instead of moving right
We only seem to move left.
In a black mirrored society
How easy have we made
All this chaos possible,
Chaos we now must reverse.
Incentives to drown the guilt?
Those are never shortseen.
And with an opaque conscience
They all fall asleep.
It's no longer about "If" simply about "when"
And now more than ever,
Now it's when we say...
ENOUGH!
