+Losing Hope+

Say what you want,
I won't back down.
Things like these
can't be backed away from.

I express who I am.
That's too much.
I want to be able to speak freely.
You have to restrain me.

Unfair and unequal,
the world will always be.
Hence why, I've lost faith.
We're a species that has to grow up.

Respect is all that's needed.
Respect is something the world lacks.
You have to eat others to get what you want.
It's truly sad.

I selfishly wish for peace,
but I know that it'll never be granted.
My hope is gone.
I am living for me.

I am living for me,
not you.
For the ones I care about,
not for some movie actress.

What do you say now?
Tell me,
What is the truth?
I don't know anymore.

No, don't reach for that drink.
I see you,
wanting to drink me away.
Pretend I never existed.

My hope is lost.
I'll never dissuade anyone.
I'm living solely for me,
and the ones I care for.

It makes me wonder,
is this really the median world?
This surely isn't heaven.
It sure feels like hell.

Unfairness,
prejudice,
hatered.

All of these things
cause me to lose faith
in the world.
