"You cannot acheive peace with violence" -several people


You say we created
I say we destroyed

You say we are the best

Top
Better
Best

I say we are low

Bad
Horrible
Low

Noone understands why I feel this way

I can’t explain
It’s my life

My life
My feelings
My thoughts

My life

Don’t hate me
Don’t look down on me
because I don’t like us

Who is us?
Us is simple.
Us is bad.

Low
Horrible
Bad.

Us is people

Humans
Humanity
People

We’ve destroyed, we’ve killed

We’ve loved


and hated
Built



and destroyed

People wrapped up in their own little world

Just themselves
What they are doing
What they did
Themselves
You, Yourself, and You

And I hate it

Selfish, Careless, Shallow and Rude

This is most people I have met

Not caring about those who you don’t affiliate with

Just those you are friendly with
And even then

It’s only about you.

Don’t you care? Don’t you see what is happening?

Of course not.

You see only you

Your reflection
A mirror
You

And only you

Not the destruction, sadness, and wrong doing
Just you
And you do not even see when you do it.

And it makes me sick

You just see a smile, a pretty face

I see a shallow soul, a masking facade
Masking you carelessness from others

But it would not matter without the mask
You don’t wear it half the time anyway

They don’t care either


So please, oh please

Start caring
Now.

But you will not, I wasted my breath

So please, oh please

Show me someone who does care
bring them here
And be my friend


The author's comments:
Well, as you see, I disapprove of humanity pretty easily, and this is what fueled it. I've been feeling really dissapproving of my peers, and what I see of them. Noone seems to think the way I do, not very close at all. Which is good, but it does get lonely.

This is brilliant! I feel the exact same way but couldn't have written it so simply and understandably with such a potent, clear voice. Thanks so much for writing this!
