Humanity, what's that?
Elle Sep 2016
We're born with hopeful wonder
We're born with tempestuous emotion
We try not to get pulled under
But get swept up in devotion

We get older and chip away
Rust in the sinking water
Trying to hold onto Maye
Always unwillingly slaughter

We mutate to an object inhumane
Excuse it with "It's in our DNA"
Seems like we're all on *******
Have brain damage more every day

We **** each other left and right
Trying to cope and manage
Wrecked brain and no sight
We create collateral damage

So don't say "I'm only human"
Blaming everything except yourself
I think it's time you tune in
And take the book off the shelf

Your eyes are covered by your own hands
What is it you fear?
It's pathetic and sad
You can't see you are your own puppeteer

Monotone World
Elle Jul 2016
Me, a little girl and little words

Always seem to say

These little lines raw and unheard

Will help me get away

Into the labyrinth of my mind

Trapped in its abyss

They all see, but are blind

They all  turn and dismiss

We all fake smiles

Living in a monotone world

We all judge, are given trials

Not minding that we're unfurled

We live in endless denial

Thinking everything is fine

I slowly taste the bile

What is wrong with our minds

Being all hypocritical

But never admitting

Always being so analytical

"No, young lady that isn't very fitting"

Saying "Yes, I'll change my ways"

Only to crawl back again

Why this continual craze

We must fix our ways and mend

Cause if we don't, we'll be what we fear

We are in the nightmare, reality

Monsters, killers, death, and tears

We'll be a living dead society

— The End —
