Your Not A Man!


You call yourself a man yet for 32 years you had no plan You try to get it together but they tell you daily your not a man The love you feel you can not show as a man The harder you try the softer you get thinking all the while just do not quit Your words feel empty as your actions can not show How are you a man when you can't seem to grow They laugh in your head They laugh in your face All of them surrounding you no matter the time or the place What a disgrace they sit and say Hes not a man like he once used to be Winning they say between us and the meds What's the point in trying the bed I'm screaming inside just leave me alone My thoughts and my feelings I wish I could show A real man could didnt you know You used to be a man but a shell is all that remains A man no more useless except in the brain My body and soul are drugged up and in pain She says it's ok but they say shes just lying Your not even a man not even worth trying

WorthlessP.O.S.14

Nothing to tell just a figment of this reality floating amongst the the chaos we call life as we wander aimlessly hoping we are meant for more yet ever proving we as individuals mean nothing without a better half long lost to the abyss we call our society. Fuck it the shadows say im not meant for here and have been fighting the inevitable demise of my earthly form for years I need to be with my people, its home, this life is pain, heartache, and disappointment the next has to be better.
