As I’m forever told the past is written in stone, no washing that away by the shore, hoping the clouds fade away, making the sun shine brighter, but sadly there is no rainbow at the end of a deadly storm, clearing out the hurt and pain caused by humanity.
I’ve walked this earth with blistered feet in search of a better tomorrow, hoping that someday people would improve and I could trust and be whole again, but sadly if logic minds do not prevail, then seeing eye to eye will become a mere connotation, true words spoken in jest.
The fundamental broken right from the start, so no foundation to build upon, blinded by misguided trust, taught to you from a young age, so it ought to be true, not knowing the intentions not to be pure or honest at the very beginning to your introduction to mankind. Leaning on those that never grabbed your arm but rather held you back, sheltering you from the true beauty and bestowing the horrendous tales you’d only pray to see in movies.
From a young age I’ve learned to accept that’s the way it is, it’s a mans world no point in denying, they are the superior race, or so they’d like to make you think, prey on the weak while destroying the tough, boasting their strength reminding you who has power leaving you defenceless against it all, when do I stand up declaring my worth or just sit down and do as I’m told for that’s how I was raised, to always listen, never talk back and always say thank you, well do I thank you for removing all faith I’ve ever known and replacing it with obscure versions of events. Taking all meaning and leaving it pointless to discover, shall I take comfort in knowing you accomplished it all. From the age of innocence I’ve learned to lie to better the story no matter the consequence of the outcome and bound to me like a ball and chain in order to protect the reputation of those that would no quicker forget their loyalties in return.
Shall I thank thee, for providing the knowledge, prepared me for those that intent harm while I was deceived into thinking it agreeable to any other after you. Thank you mankind, for you never fooled me right from the start.
