I hear the drums beating a long the ****** city Hearing only the whispers of strangers I hear only hear talk of war and misanthropy Nothing good on the news Fear and panic is rampant through my mind The complacent the happy ones hope for the better future and here I am seeing the evil side of humanity the apathetic side of humanity the falseness the false hopes the ugly truth falls on my head like the mid morning rain it’s like yesterday my friends withered away I feel this sense of estrangement for others that i can’t begin to fully understand it’s like a never ending maze that is making me a blind social outcast breaking me down to my very foundations stirring up my inner feelings of anger ,hate ,self destruction detesting logic for emotional rage that I somehow need to tame thoughts expectations emotions racing through my ever vulnerable spirit I gradually become more withdrawn from people as I age I see sometimes only frauds and selfishness fates knocking down at my door is there a bright essence of happiness that I will find a long this peculiar road called life ? am I meant to fall by the wayside; to serve as warnings to the rest of us; signs posts along the way...... these thoughts are racing in my awakened mind but in vain I’m silent
