Pain clawing at my brain trying to make me insane I try to refrain the constant mind drain and try to contain the animal within trying to break free and destroy me all my anguish is in vein but I try to remain selfless not to be confused with helpless
Constantly tired emotionally drained while my pain is clawing at my brain
I look around and all I see
is stupid people all around me

what happened to common sense?
When I was growing up we didn't need warning labels on everything we weren't that stupid

what happened to work ethics?
When I was a kid we had to work hard if we wanted something now people expect handouts

what happened to being kind to your neighbors?
Growing up everyone in our neighborhood were every race and we were "family"

what happened to respect for your elders?
I was always taught to be kind and respectful of my elders and help them out whenever possible

What happened to morals?
My parents instilled honesty, respect , don't steal, don't cheat, don't help someone else cheat, and treat others the way you want to be treated, in me at a young age I couldn't break them if I wanted to because they are hardwired into my brain.

What happened to telling the truth?
All I ever hear anymore is lies

What happened to society?
We used to play outside, shovel snow for our neighborhood, we didn't use technology, we went on actual dates , holding hands and talking was the best way to show you cared , now people have online relationships never meeting eachother and sending ***** pictures. People text when sitting next to eachother. No-one actually talk to eachother. People now are so stupid that they need warning labels on everything, no-one has god in their hearts.

I was taught that there is good in everyone but when I look around all I see is morons that only care about themselves and will lie cheat and use anyone to get what they want.
Sorry started off as a poem but turned into a rant
I can't wait. ...to be sane
I can't wait. ...to end this pain
I can't wait. .....till you are free
I can't wait. ....till you're home with me
Where is the work ethic?
Wheres the workers that are energetic?
Why is the world lazy?
Its all hazzy
Wheres the hard workers?
Now there's only hookers
They just want free money
That's not how the world works honey
They say ignorance
Is bliss
But there is a difference
Between arrogance
And ignorance
Its a fine
Thin Line
Ignorance is not knowing
Arrogance is not caring
These two go hand in hand
Anyone that is arrogant
Is usually also ignorant
Ignorance is bliss?
If anyone has any suggestions on any additions to this poem please comment below
I don't have a big screen TV
My old school screen is big enough for me

I don't have a big fancy house
I don't have a spouse
But bills are paid
Who cares that i don't get laid
My house May be small
But I have just enough to pay for it all

I don't have a high paying job
Im not a rich snob
Hours are long
With a steady paycheck I can't go wrong

My children's fathers are not around
I still stand my ground
I have been their only support
Even after going to court
My day revolves around them
I love my children
They make me grin

I don't have fancy organic food
But I fill the fridge which puts me in a good mood

I don't have a fancy new car
My van still starts and runs you can hear it roar

You say I am poor
I say I am rich forever more

Glass half empty?
Glass half full?
Let me see....
I think its all bull

The measure of a person isn't their wallet
But by the measure of their heart
People look at me
But they don't see
They say I am poor
When they walk in my door
I look around and say
I see it another way
I have a roof over my head
Im not laying Outside dead
I have food in my tummy
Even if its not always yummy
I have a van that runs
Even if it loudly humms
I have my angels that I love
Even if they misbehave
I have a family that loves me
I wish you could see
I am rich as can be
Value is in the eye of the beholder I don't consider myself poor I have what I need so I am rich forever more
