We are abused but we know not guilt
We shoot to the sun, not to the ground
The hammer awaits us, but we don't shout
We are adorned flowers, thus we stick out
They tried to uproot us but we refuse to wilt
Tried to make us like they are, make us tilt
We have a problem with the way the world is bent
Our message has been written, wrapped and sent
They took our message and cross-examined it
Called us insane and tried to cure our insanity
Made us more manageable, an object to study
But they didn't see we are the corner stones of society
We are prophets the world sweeps under a rug
We get stabbed in the back each time we give a hug
The kind the world refuses to listen to
And gives us drugs to chew
If they could they would give us lobotomies
And electric shocks, like they did throughout history
Some say they are not ready
Not on our frequency
But in reality
They love lies and secrecy
For they are servants to money
Most of our parents were such
You must die to be free
Is that asking too much?
Rise of technology
is the downfall of morality
Choked by materialism
Witnessing the decline of society
Why am I afraid
of every unfamiliarity
Like a foreign parasite
is attacking my sanity
I want to live simply
Grow and be happy
but even the fools
are running circles around me
With their pomp and their money
While I sit and worry
I want to do something drastic
Without turning plastic
It's hard to go out
and make new friends
when you still haven't thrown away
the garbage of the past
How can you move on
when you still haven't given up
on the people who hurt you
Are people replaceable?
Let hell open up
and swallow the wicked
Leave only the good folks
A martyr's dream
for first they will **** us
As they abused us
While we pray to heaven
Not to refuse us

I cannot change the past
The present is a gift
The future too is set in stone
Unbeknownst to human wit
The hour's gotten late
The noise is dying down
One minute I'm smiling wide
The next a downcast frown
Depends on the air's whim
The pressure and my sense
Sometimes it feels so thin
Other times it feels so dense
Whatever's on my mind
I just hope it's kind
To do evil is to slog and grind
Yet to do good appears blind
Now I'm here where I belong
It feels good to be at home
Where I dance like to a song
All day and all night long
I'm am utter slave to fate
Nothing else will sate
My rotten human pride
To fight it is to hate
The truth will set you free
The story was written long ago, you see
We are all just pawns
Another of the throng
We were meant for hardship
Meant to make mistakes
To whatever's meant for us we're drawn
The world's a stage, a play
People are unknowing actors
Those who deviate from the script flay
In pain for what they lack
Some to never get it back
For an outstanding performance
You receive a bonus
To live another day
Under the sun's rays
I am going with the flow
Trying not to strife
No choice but to do the right thing
Though it feels like such a lie
To the song of life I sing
One day I'll spread my wings
But for now I am open to tomorrow
Whatever it may bring

Oh blissful happiness,
upon whose paths only the innocent walk
until some evil spirit rends their hopes
and casts them off - where children dance
and the fool walks in a trance!
I have heard the devils talk
The way they ****** one into an act
and then mock without end,
and there's no going back!
They tell you about liberty, how you are free
until you bend and succumb to misery
Though wise, I was unable to discern
hypocrisy and the hypocrite
until recently, when I learned
they just want you to share their agonizing fate!
Oh mercy,
I thought no ill could come upon me,
and I would rise above any predicament
Woe is me!
How could I have known about the inner plague
that comes with every thought
of choosing instead of love, something worse
and doubting the laws of the universe!
By the time I saw, it was already too late
too much time has passed,
and vengeance had decided my fate
I seek revenge over mercy,
thus barring me from my own happy state
How quickly a happy heart can turn into hate,
and love into pain!
I want to retire to the womb from which I was born
from which I was torn, and pretend
to have not seen anything at all
I deny the ones I loved
and had compassion for - no more!
There's only bitterness left,
and no comforter in the world before me
for I reject simple joy and correction
for hard-hearted wrath against my oppressors

Another night
Another ******
One person defines
An entire gender
In my room I hide
I hate womankind
Yet how I long
To sleep
By your side
Eyes open wide
Spiritually blind
I just see your name
Reminds how I cried
In pain over our corpse
The day we both died
Now I must sigh
And utter goodbye

Cannot be mended
No one can fix it
Might as well be blended
To play games with the heart
Deserves a punishment hard
To take what was love
And simply discard
It hurts the daughters
It haunts the sons
Broken hearts
Spiritually done
The heart breaks but once
After that it's gone
Torn apart
Eternally wronged
But woe to the one
The breaker of hearts
The player of games
To hell they depart
