War.
This idea of competition,
this idea of fight or flight,
this idea of narcissism,

This is the epitome of,
not human nature,
but inhuman nature.

Humans were given the ability to talk with,
one mouth,
and they were given the ability to listen with,
two ears,
yet we either SHOUT at each other endlessly,
without listening,
or we skip the talking and go straight to fighting.
This poem has no real end because according to statistics, war will never end.

SoRin
I walk this world alone
Burning bridges everywhere I turn
I don't know a life
Without destruction
I'm so toxic
It makes me sick
Still nobody knows

Nobody knows
The life I lead
They never know
Each time I bleed
Or when I want to give up everything
It's nauseating
It's never ending
I want to be open
But I'm afraid to let them in
Because I know they'll just walk away
They'll never treat me the same
It's a constant flow

Still, my heart, it beats for you
My very life, you can have it too
What reason do I have, but the reasons you give
When I think I've had enough
And it all is just too much
I think that today is the day that I'll give it all up
Because my life is meaningless in the absence of happiness
And words are cheap, and better left unspoken
Every life was meant to fade
And every heart was made to be broken
So what's it matter if I die?
If they learn my secrets, I'll be ostracized by the ones I love the most
To them, I'll be a ghost
So let these chains set me free
Let me be who I am meant to be
A free spirit with no care
A lovely person with no burdens left to bare

There is little chance for me,
to become something even close to a fantasy.
There is no chance for me,
to become something that my mother will love to see.

These are the thoughts that my mind swims around in,
constantly.

Every time I look in the mirror,
I bring this doubt into my mind that I will ever be,
enough.

The sixth article of the Universal Declaration of HUMAN RIGHTS states that,
every human on this planet,
has the right to recognition everywhere as a,
person,
before the law.

I believe that the phrase,
"before the law"
should be changed because,
we have changed.

In a different time,
this would have made complete sense,
when the law was held as more of a social construct.

But nowadays,
both men and women are judged,
not for their actions,
but for their appearance as well.

This idea that,
even though we are specs on this planet,
we are impermeable to another's words is,
appaling.

This idea that,
because we are individuals,
we cannot love someone else's difference is,
astounding.

These are the ideas that make us think,
that we are not enough.
make me think,
that we are not enough.

We are filled with this,
want to become something better,
but instead of being better,
we fall down the ladder,
and into this abyss that is filled with black goo,
and this black goo becomes our soul.

It becomes the way we act,
the way we speak,
the way we breathe.

This black goo of endless torture.
It will be the end of humanity.

It will not be the end of life,
but the end of kindness,
the end of happiness,
the end of empathy,
and at that point,
is living really worth it at all?
If you think you are worthless, please read.

You.
Exhaust.
Me.

From your words,
to your body language,
to your ******* presence.

You.
Exhaust.
Me.

I live day to day,
dreading talking to you.
I live day to day,
scorning you.

The only reason I tolerate you,
is because I have to.

You.
Are.
Me.

I live day to day,
dreading waking up.
I live day to day,
shying away from mirrors.

I.
Exhaust.
Myself.

I'm tired.
It's that feeling that you,
can't really describe.

I'm not angry at the world,
like everybody says.

I don't need to just,
find my meaning,
like everybody says.

I'm just tired.
I know it isn't the same tired,
as wanting to sleep.

But I know that,
it's not the same tired,
as wanting to give up.

Isn't that enough?

Do I really need some excuse,
as to why I don't want to socialize?
Do I really need some excuse,
as to why I don't have anything to say?

Is there really a reason,
to having an excuse for anything?

I'm done living,
for you.

Now,
I'm living for me.

Are we equal?
this question has been asked several times,
and it will be asked several more.

If you were to ask me,
we aren't.
No one is equal,
because no one is the same.

If humans were equal,
then you could hire any one of us,
to do the same job.

Should we be treated equal?
Now that's a totally different question.
But still,
my answer is no.

If you were to treat,
a mentally handicapped person,
the same as someone who is not,
mentally handicapped,
it would be considered wrong by the general public.

This is why I say,
that humans should be treated with equity,
not,
equality.
This is also the #1 problem,
with the United States school system.

The quality of being fair and impartial.
This is the definition of equity.
When you treat someone this way,
they stand a fair trial.

But when you teach someone,
the same exact way,
and the same exact material,
that you teach to someone completely different,
it is unfair,
and it is partial.

Einstein once said,
"Everybody is a genius.
But if you judge a fish,
by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life,
believing that it is stupid."

In today's age,
every single person is expected to be a monkey,
and everyone that isn't,
is judged,
and ridiculed,
for being a fish.
