Like a fawn looking into the barrel of a shotgun Your naivety is what got you here; pending Just a few bad decisions away from letting the bullet tear apart your head And feed the forest the uncountable remains of your brain It’ll be your worst nightmare Something you were incapable of foreseeing Your eyes painted with a sedated glaze Drool seeping out of the corner of your mouth Unable to see the harm in anything So pretty So pretty So pretty Everything is just a landscape for me to paint my happiness on The sun greets me with a warm embrace And the birds make the gift of hearing that much better Get ready for me world, I am the magical spark who was born To break up your system To show you what a real human being was meant to accomplish I’ll emanate courage that would make Jesus weep I don’t care what history has to say Holocausts, crusades, war All of it means nothing because I am here Wall street, poverty, oil spills All of it because there were a few bad eggs But people People are all right Most of them don’t mean it What do you mean how? They just don’t Please don’t **** your gun I wanted to be a lawyer and help the people who cant help themselves But I’m just a person that no one will help either But they don’t mean it They would help me if they could They just need my spark My love My courage And they’ll see what they can be Please, get that away from my temple I wanted to show them all, I wanted to uphold my values And show them the benefits of having morals Please, I can forgive you if you just let me go I see your soul and it’s just been a little damaged Nothing positivity can’t fix I believe in people They aren’t the way they are on purpose…. Boom You left your mark on this landscape and it’s bright red Are you peering down? Saying it’s your love instead of your blood Are you looking at your killer? Saying it was a misunderstanding instead of hatred Are you looking at Positivity? Picking its teeth with a toothpick, Full of the bulshit you’ve been feeding it Until it’s never-ending stomach gave into its gluttony And gobbled you whole Left you a carcass Buried you So you could be another part of the ground Where Coke cans and McDonalds bags provide you with a permanent quilt The sun shining on you nevermore

Not Even a Dent
