Staring at trees
Shaking and sway
Only entertained
For I can't look away
Longing for days
When I had more patience
A little bit of bravery
Confidence, even just a speck
Today I will leave
Understand the danger
Of running into strangers
Exhale of the lungs
Tomorrow the funeral
What is the world trying to tell me?
Our time has expired?
Humanity will be retired?
Don't want to sleep when I'm not even tired
Let me leave when I've become
What I've aspired.

Debris on the shore
They said everyone was poor
In faith
Fortune
Now fate crumbled our luck
Bunch of shmucks
Running amuck
"When will help come?"
"Who will save us?"
The ones in their tower
Debating on how to solve a problem
That kills people by the hour
Come sit and cower
What the fathers wanted...
Balance of power
Hurting us more than needed.

Standards everchanging
Academics
Beauty
Health
In relation to the nation
Never maintaining
Forever a remix
Procralimed by a snooty
Individual
Flowing with wealth
Bankrupt in understanding
If everyone began to harm
We'd idolize it as a norm
No matter the charm
It'd be a uniform thunderstorm

Untouched
Pure of human touch
Now time will tell
When we deem it to be "too much"
Burn it down...
While giving a momentary farewell...
Oh well.
Let's go, boss wants 20 more of these
Down to the ground

Nobel pieces
First place slot
Hard workers deserve those
Or so I thought
How long have I been faking?
Movie always in the making
Center stage
Should I gauge success?
Never truly felt impressed
All on the shelf, trophies of trophies
At the cost of a fee...

Proud to come this far
Scrounged through the muck and tar
Now at the very top...
Yet the abuse never stops
Superior to who?
I just wanted to be a hero to you.

If my vocal cords
Can't produce a sound
To save the joy you've drowned
Unfortunate
Cannot save you
Why even continue?
Hand back my time, detinue
Or as I lay down
Gazing up at your frown
You're not just a noun
Remove the ****** gown
No longer in that town...
Hidden away in the brown
Freed from a breakdown
Prevented a meltdown
Like a flame eclipsed by a wave
Spirits never caved
The soul I had to save...
...no longer a slave
In the deepest blue
Try to shake off the residue.
