Title: Why
Author: Raven
Date Submitted: 7/3/2012

 
Poem: The music plays, the clouds are gathering.
Thunder rumbles, asking why.
Dying slowly, little by little.
Have we all lost this spark ?
Who are the lucky ones, those who have or those who don’t?
Never-ending battle, draining and straining.

It has started, anger rising.
Hatred
Controlling, losing, protecting.
Do you know who you are, confusion shouting,
What you’re supposed to be?

Brick by brick, the wall is built.
Within this wall is safety,
Loneliness as companion
Eating away at what is left
Lost in darkness, devoured by what is inside.
It’s always the same in this game.
No end in sight, it’s always the same
Day after day.

Desperation rising within these walls.
Built strong to protect what’s inside....
