Why is it
That the biggest hearts
Are emptied the fastest?

And the brightest souls
Are blackened
The quickest?

People who fight
their battles alone
either lose the battle
or lose themselves.

I will never pay Hellopoetry $5 to have a poem be on the front page next to poems that are trending. I can't think of a more horrid thing then selling premium placement on the sight. There is no longer credibility, nor integrity on Hellopoetry.com. I will be looking for a new forum for my work. I am disappointed Hellopoetry.com would do this. You don't have to have talent nor anything interesting to say. I am done.

I find it ironic
How as a society who has decided that only cowards **** themselves
We continuously make the decision to do that which will only bring us to our own demise as a planet- as a whole.
We choose the easiest or most profitable option over the best option for our well being,
but it's okay because we haven't killed our selves...*yet.

Society says

Don't cry;
That's weak

Don't talk about pain
That's selfish

Don't be smart
That's nerdy

Don't talk much
That's annoying

Don't be yourself
That's stupid
