Focus


10-22-17

Alone

I only achieve for myself

Only strive to be the best you.

To despise all else around you, 

Is the price they ask.

To take all hatred and focus getting out of here.

So much burden, so much pain.

Only focus on yourself.

Because only others can cause you pain.

Be yourself but only with the right people around.

Do the best to hush the fearing monstrosity inside.

It hurts to close the gate, it hurts to fade away.

My room is my cage; familiar and safe.

I always wanna leave but always come back.

Look at them with the deadliest eyes.

Wrong death, wrong judgement.

Pigments of our skin change the mind.

Only the same can they be at ease.

Only I was not made to please.
