Acts of Violence


shouted with my thoughts on paper

yelled at the ones who never listen

whisper to my heart thats beating

listen to my heart because its what i am feeling

shattered all the ones who didnt believe them

dreams of the fortune now but was shattered to begin with

hit up all the people blew up my head

pushed  all those negative thoughts and put them to bed

shut out all the words of the people who said em

shut up the voices that repeated them

cried out to god wondering if he could hear me

sobbed to him and now i know he hears me

prayed to him and now i know he loves me

adored him and he never leaves me

holds me until my dying day

"walk with me" i imagine he'd then  say

"walk with me so no more acts of violence

 smile cause here heaven awaits here its peace and quiet"
