Opinions


Stare at the stars,

Wondering who we are,

And why we are lost.

How is it possible to be ourselves,

When we are unsure of who we are?

How can we live to their expectations?

We can hardly live up to our own.

Why do people not understand 

What they see is the result

Of the pain created by others,

Pain we've overcomed.

That we take knives to nothing,

Because of horror that we have made.

We refuse to become the monsters,

That people have portrayed.

 

Kill me quickly,

Drop me dead, 

Whith signs and words left to behead,

The broken and weak,

The ones who don't speak,

Who seek solitude, rather than unity.

But screw you, and your opinions!

I know that I am strong.

I might see me lonely, but that is where you're wrong.

There are so many out there, 

Who care more than you know.

We are united and divide,

We're all over the globe.

 

So screw your opinions,

And to hell with your ignorant sight,

Your words make weapons,

But your mind fails to see the light.

RAWR! My life revolves around music, especially rock/post metal core. Songs are poetry with a melody, which can save us from this cruel world we live in. Honestly, I've lost a lot of hope, and am working to recreate it through poetry. I wish for others to see the impact they have on others. Please leave comments, I'd love to hear your opinions. :) "So I can take this pen, and teach you how to live. What is left unsaid, the greatest gift I give."-"Saviour" by BVB
