I gave you everything
even the things that I didn't have
and now you're telling me
I was not enough?

We were misfits
the neglected ********
of a backwards world
that rejected us
not because we were sick
demented or dangerous
but because we didn't prescribe
to a preconceived notion
of what a functioning citizen was.
Not rotten enough to spoil
behind the bars of a prison
just competent enough
to work menial jobs
and drown our sorrows
at the corner pub.
We swallowed this hard truth
the same way we drank our shots
with no chaser
and at times it burnt
maybe even made us tear up
but we never let it beat us
(too strong for that)
We were beautiful
resilient beasts
that could carry the weight
of the world upon our shoulders
and it was heavy
but we would tell ourselves
"doesn't every world need an atlas?"
so we went on holding up the sky
when no one asked it of us.

I looked around me.
Examining my surroundings.
I failed to see love.
Bountiful love.
I asked myself a question,
Which seemed to be up for discussion.
“How do I change this?”
Peace is dwindling.
Life is being shortened instead of prolonged.
They claim that it is a choice, although I beg to differ.
Now all I see is love diminishing.
Yet, I strive to change that.
Put an end to this suffering.
Negativity has such an awful stench.
Thoughts - be made pure.
Desires - be made pure.
Emotions - be made pure.
Remove the dying twigs from the soul.
Their departure is a breath of fresh air.
Forget this excessive living.
The less fortunate...
To truly comprehend the meaningfulness of their existence.
Begin to understand the depth of their suffering.
The depth of our suffering.
Mental anguish.
Physical anguish.
Emotional anguish.
Although we are unaware,
our desires blind us.
A lesson- to be content with our blessings.
The passiveness of our generation.
Meanwhile, minds are being polluted.
Please pay attention, you who wish to accomplish
The mind is an intricate field.
A battleground.
Let me be at peace.
At peace with myself..
At peace with all.
Clarity is what I seek.
He - A guide through obstacles.
A lantern of hope.
Reach out and extinguish self reliance.
Rid us of prideful ways.
Lead me not to doubt.
Lead me not to question.
My mind- Refreshed
At last, my soul is cleansed.
