What happened to society?
Where greed takes priority?
Self becomes the whole
Instead of the ones with no homes

Follow up with a job
Suddenly, they don't even know who you are
But yet will slam the hammer down
"I'm sorry, but we're going a different direction"

So close, yet so far
Like a line on the hook
Shaking the stick with a sinister look

Forget the people,
Provide for the rich
Let people die
While we dig the ditch

The world is a joke
No worries, it's lost hope
A sting and stain
With nothing to gain

While the stupid laugh and play
Not a single cent to pay
The good and honest suffer

Hey guys, I'm going to post a few works I haven't released yet because I wanted to work on them. However, when I write things, sometimes my motivation to rewrite or edit goes out the window. If they change in time, they will, if they don't, they don't. Thank you guys for supporting me and my writing

You're gone, yet I'm still haunted by your voice
It whispers to me at night, waking me from sleep.
Echoing of the promises I wished to keep

A chain I broke, yet the feeling of cuffs remain
On who is really to blame
The door is locked, yet you creep through
As if there's nothing I can do

I locked the windows, and all the pain
You slip through despite all my change
Sealed every crack, but your voice calls my name.

All of it gone, all the pain...
Yet here you are, still remains

The tough get going
I go towards it
As much as it *****,
There's no sorry for it

I tread with fear in my eyes
The demons do not hide
They spit at me and ask me "Why"
I have to keep going

Face them head on
They have no power over me
Redirect my mistakes
Even if it took an epiphany

There's no sorry for it
Do not tuck your tail and run
That's what they want
Face them!

Remind them you gave them that power
And you can just as easily take it away
You have more power than you think
You want redemption? That's how you get it

Now step off that porcelain ***
And show me what you've really got!
