CRAZY WORLD
THIS WORLD IS DARK AND COLD, RICH AND POOR. I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS? THAT’S REALLY MESSED UP. THERE SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE THEY CAN GO. I HATE WALKING PASS A HOMELESS PERSON BECAUSE IT MAKES ME REALLY SAD. I MAY HAVE UNSTABLE HOUSING AT TIMES BUT I THANK GOD THAT I AINT LIVING ON THE STREETS. THE GOVERNMENT IS REALLY STINGY AND CARELESS, LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING. I WONDER IF THIS WORLD WOULD EVER GET BETTER? I S OBAMA REALLY A GOOD BLACK PRESIDENT OR IS HE A SET UP? WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WE DIE? WHY ARE WE FIGHTING TO LIVE, WHEN WE ARE LIVING TO DIE? WILL ALL THE “HIGHER POWER” PEOPLE LIVE WHILE US REGULAR FOLKS DIE ON THE LAST DAY OF THE WORLD? IS THE WORLD REALLY GONNA END? ALL THOSE QUESTIONS I ASK AND GET NO ANSWER! THIS CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN.
WONDER She looks into her mirror and wonders what’s next? Where do I go from here? Who am I living for? Is this my limit? She can’t help but to just close her eyes and drift off to dream land and dream of peace and happiness, like when she was young playing with her sister and cousins with no care in the world, living the good life. She opens her eyes and wonders why she is still here in this room all alone? She finds herself getting jealous when she sees other girls with both of their parents and wonders what life would be like if her mom and dad were still together and raised her like a family? She can wonder all day but in reality ITS REAL.
CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?
Does anybody hear her ? She is crying out for help, begging on her knees. Please one more chance and I’ll be the best girl you ever had. She just wants to make someone proud of her. She is looking for love. She cries out to him, Why am i not good enough. But she feels hopeless and she gives herself away. She knows that God loves her but she avoids that little voice in her ear. Does anybody hear her ? The screams of her pain, the tears that fall and hit the ground like rain. Does anybody see the marks on her beautiful body? They think it’s because she is a bad girl but she begs to just let her be a girl. Does anybody see that she is lost because nobody stopped to ask her if she is okay and she is a lost little girl trying to find her way, hoping for a brighter day ? Does anybody hear her crying? Nobody understands, she is actually dying.
I Need I need love To make me wiser, I need food To keep me going. To thrive I need laughter To not make my surroundings awkward. To thrive I need a friendship So my world wouldn’t be so boring. I need A mother to tell or show me her mistakes so I won’t make them I need an education To get me through this life’s maze. To thrive I need answers So I wouldn’t have to ask why So much. To thrive I need a purpose on earth So I won’t just be out here roaming the streets like I forgot were I parked my car, going in circles.
